Code administratif des établissemens dangereux, insalubres ou incommodes.

Paris: Béchet jeune, 1832.

Trebuchet's work sets out the rules and regulations governing dangerous and unhealthy work environments (particularly those involving steam engines) and public nuisances. Pages 281-301 contain a table of businesses classed by their products, listing their specific offenses against public health and citing the laws governing their activities. As far as we have been able to determine, Trebuchet’s work was far more comprehensive than any individual book published in the English language at this time.
