Howes M 653. This is an enlarged edition of a work first published in 1784. It is based on a pamphlet entitled "Considerations on the Society or Order of Cincinnatus" issued in 1783 at Philadelphia. The original pamphlet was signed "Cassius" and is supposed to have been written by Edanus Burke (though some give Sebastien Roch Nicholas Chamfort as a joint author). The notes on Price's very important 'Observations' were largely the work of Guy Jean Baptiste Target (1733-1806). The hereditary and quasi-aristocratic character of the Revolutionary War veterans' Society of the Cincinnati was strongly opposed by Franklin and others. Franklin was unable, due to his sensitive political and diplomatic roles, to attack the organization directly. Apparently "he engaged two of his friends, Chamfort and the young Mirabeau, to translate an American attack upon the Society, Aedanus Burke's Considerations on the Society or Order of Cincinnatus, and to incorporate into the translation an essay in letter form that Franklin had himself written to his daughter, which demonstrated mathematically the absurdity and moral and social evil of aristocracy or "descending honor." Mirabeau's book, Considerations sur l'Ordre de Cincinnatus, published in London in 1784 through the efforts of Franklin and later translated into English, created a great furor, for it attacked an organization headed by such respectable figures as Washington, Lafayette, and Rochambeau, and at the same time struck, convincingly and cleverly, at the foundations of the existing French social order." - Echeverria, Mirage in the West, pp. 56-57). This enlarged edition includes a French translation of Price's book and Mirabeau's comments on it. It includes details which did not appear in the English version, and is an important document in the history of the Revolutionary War era. RARE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED FR-VOYAGES

Original blue patterned wrappers spine wrappers shorn stitched untrimmed. xii 203 1 blank pp. Mild occasional foxing binding a bit shaken. Very Good. <br /> <br /> Howes calls this "another issue" of the first edition. OCLC declares "The imprint is false being a repetition of that on the French edition printed in London; probably printed in Paris" OCLC 85860350 noting facsimiles. Lathrop Harper noted "The book was of course not allowed to be printed in France and the writer was living in London at this time" Harper Catalog 224 - 154. <br /> As a hereditary organization limited to officers of the American Revolution and their eldest male descendants the Order reflects "the true seat of nobility" inconsistent with a new republican society. <br /> Alarmed the author says the Society will quoting from the version in English language "strip the middle and lower ranks of life of all influence and of all importance; consign them to the most palpable contempt and reduce them to the completest nullity." This "military nobility" will inevitably become "a civil nobility and an aristocracy the more dangerous because being hereditary it will perpetually increase in the course of time and will gather strength from the very prejudices it will engender; because originating neither in the constitution nor the law the law has provided no means to controul it and it will incessantly overbear the constitution." <br /> Howes M653aa.
