	Livingston, Guatemala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Livingston is the name of a town in Izabal department, Guatemala, at the mouth of the Río Dulce at the Gulf of Honduras.
		It was Guatemala's main port on the Caribbean Sea before the construction of nearby Puerto Barrios.
		Livingston is named after U.S. american jurist and politician Edward Livingston who wrote the Livingston Codes which were used as the basis for the laws of the liberal government of the United Provinces of Central America in the early 19th century.

	Edward Livingston - LoveToKnow 1911
		The spirit of Livingston's code was remedial rather than vindictive; it provided for the abolition of capital punishment and the making of penitentiary labour not a punishment forced on the prisoner, but a matter of his choice and a reward for good behaviour, bringing with it better accommodations.
		Livingston was the leading, member of a commission appointed to prepare a new civil code,' which for the most part the legislature adopted in 1825, and the most important chapters of which, including all those on contract, were prepared by Livingston alone.
		Livingston's negotiations were conducted with excellent judgment, but the French Chamber of Deputies refused to make an appropriation to pay the first instalment due under the treaty in 1833, relations between the two governments became strained, and Livingston was finally instructed to close the legation and return to America.
