Its author, Dossat, was born and probably educated in Grenoble. He had a successful legal career, first as a lawyer in Bordeaux and later as a judge in Annecy. He appeared to have a deep interest in the legal status of women. In 1872, he delivered an address at the opening session of the Bordeaux Court of Appeals titled De l'Emancipation de la Femme, which was published (Bordeaux: G. Gounnouihou, 1872).
