178265195A Hambourg Hamburg: S. n. 1782. Fine. S. n. A Hambourg Hamburg 1782 12 x 20 cm In-8 relié First edition. The second part is regarded as rare since Prussia ordered the manuscript to be seized and the copies burned although in fact the second part is found in many sets. Contemporary full mottled brown calf binding. Spine with raised bands richly gilt. Red morocco lettering-piece. Lower headcap partly torn. Abrasion to the lower cover with loss along the joint. Two corners rubbed. A brown stain in the upper margin of p. 49 about 2 cm. Loss in the margin at the corner of p. 144 not affecting the text. Marbled endpaper with a cut along the outer margin. Some gatherings browned. A good copy. The work written during and after Mirabeaus arrest and imprisonment at Vincennes is both a plea and an indictment against arbitrary justice and power. « J'entreprends de parler des emprisonnements arbitraires et des prisons d'état. » The volume contains numerous historical commentaries and substantial documentation on arbitrary authority and judicial practice. In the second part Mirabeau deals more specifically with prison life and incarceration. He also reflects on the English constitution and argues that our own history condemns the use of lettres de cachet just as it makes kings the sole representatives of the people. A rich source of material on prisons and imprisonment. S. n. hardcover

With the appearance of a children's book the setting is a schoolroom with an abbot instructing a child. Actually it is a record of an 1899 campaign for a Boulangiste candidate in the Norman village where Gyp summered told in a childish narrative and 36 full page cartoonish drawings in color and black and white by "Bob". The Countess was a fanatical anti-Semite and anti-Dreyfusard who denounced populist democracry and the parliamentary French Republic in numerous sketches and novels. She identified Boulanger who vowed to save France in a time of crisis with Napoleon I whom she idolized. Georges Boulanger was a conservative French general and politician who threatened a coup d'etat and the establishment of a dictatorship advocating revenge on Germany and a return to the monarchy. According to the newspaper Le Temps Gyp harangued the peasants and fisherman of the peaceful coastal town bribed the children with candy and distributed posters insulting the government for which she was fined.

178322332Rome i.e. Paris or Neuchatel: de l'imprimerie du Vatican 1783. First edition 8vo pp. iv 192; title-page vignette 2 cupids; bound in modern dark brown morocco gilt a.e.g. by Wood; light wear a few contemporary manuscript notes fine. A compendium of curiosities culled from ancient writings in an effort to present indelicate subjects such as onanism tribalism etc. in a manner acceptable to the general public. Written while Mirabeau was imprisoned in the castle of Vincennes the book was according to Kearney pursued with such vigor by the authorities that only fourteen copies of the first edition have survived - a number almost assuredly inaccurate. Following a second edition of 1792 Errotika was included in the Papal Index of prohibited books. "A further edition was ordered to be destroyed in 1826 by the Royal Court of Paris and for 'outrages against public morality and good manners' there were two other prosecutions in 1856 and 1868" Kearney. The book was published in several subsequent editions and was included by Apollinaire along with some of Mirabeau's other prison writings in his scholarly edition of 1910 issued in the Bibliotheque des Curieux series.

The Order of Cincinnati a modern order of chivalry was instituted by Washington to reward the French and Americans at the end of the War of Independence. The creation of this order was initially criticized in the United States itself as contrary to the democratic principles of equality. Mirabeau's work then residing in England takes up these criticisms and extends them to all noble heredities. The translation of Richard Price's work major in the history of American democratic ideas was requested by Benjamin Franklin. A letter from Turgot attached to the whole asks Americans to be more scrupulous in the future regarding democratic principles. Chez J. Johnson unknown

Ouvrage en outre complet de ses 6 tableaux dÂŽpliants. Primitivement paru en un volume ˆ Avignon en 1759 les derniÂres cinq autres parties qui composent cet ensemble parurent de 1758 ˆ 1760. En effet lorsque Mirabeau publia le prÂŽsent ouvrage il ne connaissait pas encore Quesnay. Ce dernier fut vivement impressionnÂŽ par L'Ami des hommes et trÂs rapidement de leur rencontre naquit l'ÂŽcole Physiocratique et les trois autres parties de l'Ami des Hommes seront le rÂŽsultat de la collaboration des deux hommes. Principal propagateur des doctrines ÂŽconomiques en France Riquetti propose ici un traitÂŽ fondamental pour la physiocratie alors naissante en partie inspirÂŽ de FranÂois Quesnay. On y trouve ici ÂŽnoncÂŽs des principes comme le primat de lÕagriculture et la condamnation de la finance du luxe et de la Ç cupiditÂŽ È dans un monde sous la conduite de propriÂŽtaires et dÕun ÇÊroi pasteurÊÈ. Aussi d'aprÂs l'auteur ''la vraie richesse ne consiste que dans la population. Or la population dÂŽpend de sa subsistance et la subsistance ne se tire que de l'agriculture. Ainsi pour ce physiocrate convaincu tout dÂŽpend de l'agriculture : elle reste le premier des arts. Mirabeau se rangera derriÂre l'idÂŽe que Ç Plus vous faites rapporter ˆ la terre et plus vous la peuplez È''. Riquetti comprit avec quelques autres la vÂŽritable nature du paysan franÂais sa dÂŽvotion ˆ la terre et sa persÂŽvÂŽrance ˆ endurer un travail dur et ÂŽreintant pour en obtenir une parcelle.Ê Le paysan nՎtait pas pauvre par paresse mais parce que le dÂŽcouragement de ne jamais rien obtenir le conduisait ˆ baisser les bras au milieu de beaucoup de contraintes. Il travaillerait toujours dur pour son propre intÂŽrÂt. Il fallait donc lui faciliter lÕaccÂs ˆ la propriÂŽtÂŽ rurale en supprimant les causes de son dÂŽcouragement.Ê En outre Mirabeau souligna le besoin dÕun traitement rural de lÕassistance publique convaincu quÕil ÂŽtait de la supÂŽrioritÂŽ de lÕagriculture sur toutes les autres formes de richesse. Les villes lui paraissaient comme des excroissances ÂŽconomiques sources de luxe qui rÂŽpandait son pouvoir de corruption sur les campagnes environnantes.

Duval p. 47 : """" Dans les travaus d'agrandissement dont l'imprimerie Guy, rue de la Halle au Toiles, a été l'objet, il a quelques années, on découvrit une cave fermée d'une trappe et paraissant répondre à la destination de celle de J.- Z. Malassis """". L'ouvrage fut condamné par la Cour de Parlement de Paris (10 février 1789) à être lacéré et brûlé. Séguier déclara ce libelle """" aussi atroce qu'inconcevable """". Peignot Dictionnaire des livres condamnés au feu I, 321 _ Jammes Bûcher 517. Duval 47 : """" L'histoire secrète...fut attribué à Mirabeau charge de 1786 à 1787 d'une mission près de la Cour de Berlin. Louis Dubois en avait vu les épreuves, conservées à l'imprimerie Malassis, mais il affirme qu'il n'y avait pas reconnu l'écriture bien connue du célèbre orateur. Mirabeau crut devoir désavouer cet ouvrage, objet d'une réprobation générale et brûlé de la main du bourreau, mais ne réussit pas à calmer l'émotion excitée contre lui par cette publication scandaleuse. Ses amis eux-mêmes en furent réduits à plaider pour lui les circonstances atténuantes. A les en croire, Mirabeau n'aurait livré son manuscrit au libraire Legeay pour le faire imprimer chez Malassis, que pour le dédommager du tort que lui avait fait la publication de son fameux livre De la monarchie prussienne. Il est même permis de se demander si Malassis n'a pas eu part à d'autres publications clandestines sorites de la plume de Mirabeau ou de celle de quelques autres pamphlétaires de l'époque """".
