Prints the August decrees of the Assemblée Nationale the first revolutionary parliament in France formed in June 1789 when 577 representatives of the clergy nobility and the Third Estate met in the Jeu de Paume and swore to establish a national constitution on a solid foundation. The Assemblée Nationale adopted the first constitution in September 1791 which was signed by the king on 14 September 1791 instituting the principal of sovereignty of the people and the separation of powers. This constitutional assembly ceded place to the Assemblée législative on 1 October 1791.<br/><br/>The volume prints decrees and texts concerning financial military agricultural and departmental administration and variety of other decrees. This series was issued from 1789 to 1794 the title varying slightly according to changes in the name of the issuing body.<br/><br/>On 6 August 1791 F.-J. Baudouin printer to the Assemblée Nationale disavowed a fraudulent printing entitled "Constitution Françoise projet présenté à l'Assemblée Nationale par les Comités de Constitution & de Révision" 82.

Tous les Artistes françois ou étrangers Membres ou non de l'Académie de Peinture & Sculpture seront également admis à exposer leurs ouvrages dans la partie du Louvre destinée à cet objet" 323.<br/><br/>Also notable is the decree on 27 August 1791 honoring Jean-Jacques Rousseau whose works had been sanctioned during his lifetime: "L'Assemblée Nationale décrète que J. J. Rousseau est digne des honneurs décernés aux Grands Hommes par la Patrie reconnoissante & que les moyens d'exécution sont renvoyés au Comité de Constitution" 354-5.<br/>This was the earliest stage in the apotheosis of Rousseau whose remains were transferred to the Panthéon in 1794.

A near fine copy in a near fine jacket. 2001 Hard Cover. 228 pp. "Hell hath no fury like a feline enraged. Though Joe Grey and Dulcie are merely house cats they each have a strong sense of justice -- to complement their uncanny ability to read speak and use the telephone. And they're furious that Max Harper police chief of Molena Point and preferred target for Joe's harmless pranks has been accused of a gruesome double murder. The fleet-footed sleuthing duo is intent upon restoring an old friend's good name. But finding the missing little girl who was sole witness to the crime won't be easy -- especially with a hungry cougar on the prowl a cat-killer on the loose . and the kittenish antics of Joe and Dulcie's playful new "ward" causing big trouble that could take more than nine lives to survive.

1805401779Paris: L. E. Herhan for Delachaussie et Garnery 1805. From the Collection of Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow. Folio 506 x 332 mm. Half-title. Title with stipple-engraved vignette 65 stipple-engraved plates by Bouquet Jacques Chailly Mlle. Delelo and others after Redouté printed in colors by Langlois. Contemporary marbled calf gilt spine with red and tan morocco lettering-pieces gilt. Some light wear at extremities; some mostly marginal and pale spotting. Provenance: Starrenstein bookplate; purchased from Biblion 1969. FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION FIRST STATE before the plates were titled and with plate 54 misnumbered 62. The plates are of flowers fruits bulbs leaves etc. of flowering plants and trees some showing whole plants and others showing details sometimes cut to reveal anatomical details. The book was issued in 1805 in both folio and quarto format. It is not surprising that this folio edition best reflects Redouté's superb botanical art. John Ruskin was one of many admirers of the work and in 1878 wrote to his bookseller F. S. Ellis: "Please at once set your Paris agents to look out for all copies that come up at any sale of Rousseau's Botanique with coloured plates 1805 - and buy all they can get." Rousseau's letters on botany were written from 1771 to 1773 but were not published in his lifetime. They first appeared in his Oeuvres in 1782. Exiled amongst the natural beauties of Switzerland in 1763 or 1764 Rousseau developed his interest in botany and made various collections of plant specimens or herbaria. See Lawrence Redouteana 15.
