1787175389Lausanne: no publisher 1787. First edition published by Honoré Gabriel Mirabeau the son of Victor de Riquetti. The work was originally drawn up by Du Pont de Nemours in 1776 under the title Mémoire sur les municipalités after a draft left by Turgot. The Lettre which begins on page 99 was written by Du Pont de Nemours and the Observations p. 113ff. by Brissot de Warville. The work was reprinted in 1788 under the title Des administrations provinciales. Turgot was opposed to the summoning of the states-general advocated by Malesherbes possibly on the ground that the two privileged orders would have too much power in them. His own plan is found in the Mémoire which was submitted informally to the King. This copy has a manuscript note on the blank recto of the frontispiece: "Cet ouvrage n'est pas de M. Turgot. Il est de M. dupont qui a pris quelqu'unes de ses idées; je suis certaine de ce que j'avance M. Turgot n'ayant rien écrit sur ses operations." Octavo 192 x 118 mm pp. Engraved portrait frontispiece. iv 5-167 1. Contemporary mottled calf red morocco label flat spine richly tooled in gilt single blind rule border to boards flower cornerpieces marbled endpapers and edges.
