1781400140Paris 1781. Fine. Folio. 12 laid paper leaves hand stitched paper spine. Title in manuscript on the first leaf followed by 21 manuscript pages foliated 1 2 2 3 – 10. In fine condition with light rubbing to the edges of the first leaf housed in a period-style quarter leather and cloth box with gilt-stamped rounded-spine and inner chemise. An original manuscript of this celebrated attack on French Finance Minister Jacques Necker arguably the most powerful man in France before the Revolution. Written surreptitiously by Philippe Henri de Grimoard an important military officer and trusted counselor to Louis XVI the letter was published in the guise of an open letter between two prominent intellectuals: from the anti-Enlightenment writer Louis-Antoine Caraccioli to Jean d’Alembert co-editor of the Encyclopédie.<br /> <br /> As Director-General of Finance from 1776-1783 Necker controlled all of France’s wealth. In February 1781 he published his famous work: Compte rendu au roi the first public accounting of the royal finances of the French monarchy. This along with his reforming policies made him many enemies including Marie Antoinette. The stage was thus set for this “witty and well informed†public attack in which Necker is made to appear as a kind of magician of politics and finance capable of “mystifying the whole French nation†and guilty of “suppressions without reimbursements reforms without profit loans without limit or measure … .â€<br /> <br /> As to whether this is the original manuscript or a compositor’s copy we cannot say with certainty. It is neatly written in a beautiful hand on the most expensive paper of the day. We know of only one record of the manuscript in an 1880 Index to the Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Museum. An historically important manuscript housed in a handsome drop-spine box. unknown

014901Marc-Pierre de Voyer de Paulmy, comte d'Argenson (1696-1764), ministre, secrétaire d'état de la guerre, dédicataire de l'Encyclopédie de Diderot et d'Alembert. L.A., Les Ormes, 8 février 1762, 1p 1/2 in-4. A Barbe de Szembeck (1709-1762), « la maréchale de Lowendal ». « Je ne laisserai point, ma chère Commère, partir d'ici votre gendre [Lancelot Turpin de Crissé] sans joindre aux nouvelles qu'il vous passera de ma santé des assurances personnelles de la continuation des sentiments qui m'attachent à vous. Il m'a fait grand plaisir en m'apprenant que vous vous portez mieux que ce que vous n'avez fait depuis longtemps. Il m'a parlé avec amitié de son beau-frère [François de Lowendal] et d'une façon satisfaisante. Je compte que dans la journée qu'il va passer avec moi [mot illisible] plus en détail tout ce qui le concerne mais comme il veut absolument me quitter demain matin à cause de l'inquiétude où il est sur la santé de sa femme, je n'aurais pas le temps de vous écrire par lui, si je ne prenais pas ce moment-ci, pour vous assurer de la satisfaction que j'ai eu à l'entendre parler jusqu'à présent de vous et de tout ce qui vous appartient. Il ne peut pas douter du tendre intérêt que j'y mets et j'aurai encore plus d'une fois dans la journée la satisfaction de l'en entretenir. Soyez persuadée, ma chère Commère, que je conserverai toute ma vie pour vous l'amitié la plus sincère et le plus inviolable respect ». Cachet aux armes au dos du second feuillet. Barbe de Szembeck ne devait pas être totalement remise, elle meurt peu de temps après, le 18 mai. Rappelons que le comte d'Argenson était ministre de la guerre quand le comte de Lowendal passa au service de la France (1744) et quand il devint maréchal (1747). Belle lettre amicale. [361]
