In-8, broché, 7 p. Edition originale et unique. La découverture d'une médaille ancienne (vers 1580) dans un jardin près de Grenoble et l'ensemble des symboles qu'elle comportait, renvoyaient prophétiquement, en cette année d'Assemblée des Notables (1788), à la nécessité d'une étroite union entre Clergé, Noblesse et Tiers état. Sur la médaille, les trois ordres (Clergé - Noblesse - Plèbe / Concorde) sont représentés autour d'une colonne qui, s'ils venaient à se séparer serait renversée. Sur la colonne repose un Dauphin couronné, sous la devise "Hominum Amator": l'Ami des Hommes. Les deux faces de la médaille sont reproduites page 7. Parue sans nom d'auteur, la brochure est sans doute due à Letourneau qui avait consacré à cette médaille un article dans les "Affiches du Dauphiné" du 21 nov. 1788, p. 2. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 88:3455 qui identifie l'auteur. 'Répertoire des sources de la numismatique française', 1889, II, n°4025. Maignien, 'Bibliographie du Dauphiné pendant la Rév. Française', n°281). Très rare. Manque à la BnF qui ne possède qu'un fac-similé. Bon exemplaire, non rogné.
