68243s.l. 1789. 23 pages. 195x125 Cm. Dérelié. En tant que représentant de la sénéchaussée d'Anjou aux Etats-Généraux et membre de l'Assemblée Constituante Volney joua un certain rôle pendant la Révolution Française "comme défenseur résolu des libertés publiques et comme adversaire non moins résolu du clergé et en général de tous les cultes". Dans ce texte adressé aux habitants des campagnes et signé par "les Bourgeois associés pour la défense du droit du Peuple et l'instruction des Paysans" Volney conteste la hiérarchie des classes sociales et réclame notamment une refonte complète du système d'imposition avec la suppression de certaines taxes gabelle aides octrois corvées tailles et une nouvelle constitution. "Volney représente conjugués l'amour du progrès et l'attachement paysan à la terre avec une gravité constante et une sensibilité réelle mais mesurée. D'un courage entier pendant la Révolution et face à Napoléon qu'il aida d'abord il fut toujours partisan du silence philosophique devant toutes les folies individuelles ou collectives" Encyclopedia Universalis.
