Theorie de l'Impot;

176084111No place: no printer 1760 & 1761. OF REAL IMPORTANCE IN THE HISTORY OF FINANCIAL THEORY" - a BEAUTIFUL COPY First edition of both works pairing Mirabeau's Théorie de l'Impôt his spirited and able attack upon the financial administration of France especially the "fermiers généraux" whom Mirabeau regarded as parasites preying upon the vitals of the nation with Pesselier's counterattack notable for its terse affirmation of the characteristically Physiocratic doctrine that agriculture holds a privileged place in the economic system. Mirabeau's work highlights the problems and injustices of the French system of taxation and added fuel to the coming fire of the revolution. The king disapproved of the work; Mirabeau was imprisoned on 16 December 1760 but was released on Christmas Eve through the efforts of Madame de Pompadour and others under orders to leave Paris for his estate at Bignon. The work proposes a reorganization of financial administrative machinery the abolition of the "fermes" a reduction in the taxation upon salt with the object of increasing the total yield and a special tax upon tobacco farms. The domaine the post and the mint were to be further sources of revenue. Mirabeau ranks as one of the earliest important writers on taxation. Higgs notes that the book is "of real importance in the history of financial theory" The Physiocrats p. 57. Pesselier was one of the most forceful critics of the physiocrats. Of the products of the soil Pesselier here writes "Elles procurent un profit net et durable puisqu'elles sont à l'abri de l'imitation" "They provide a net and lasting profit since they are safe from imitation".

Mirabeau Lamar The Second President Of Texas Grants A Pass For A Mexican Federalist Captured In Fight For Independence From Mexico: The Bearer Jesus Barrera Is Employed On Public ServiceAnd Has Permission To Carry Arms For His Protection

5857MIRABEAU LAMAR 1798-1859. Lamar served as the Second President of the Republic of Texas from 1838-1841. A protg of Sam Houston Lamar later served in the Texas Senate and as U.S. ambassadors to Costa Rica and Nicaragua under President James Buchanan. ALS.1 pg. 8 x 10. March 5 1847. Laredo Texas. An autograph letter signed Mirabeau B. Lamar Commanding at Laredo and initialed MBL. The letter grants the following: The bearer Jesus Barrera is employed on public serviceand has permission to carry arms for his protection; he will be respected accordingly and allowed to pass without interference Mirabeau B. Lamar Commanding at Laredo. The letter includes a postscript: Will the Quartermaster please dispatch the bearer with as little delay as possible and if necessary to furnish him with a horse to return upon should his own give out. Volume VI of the Lamar Papers within the Texas History Trust describe a Jesus Barrera who was captured in 1840 fighting on behalf of the Republic of the Rio Grande. This declared republic with several other northern Mexican states sought to break away from the centralized authoritarian Mexican government of General Santa Anna during the Texas Revolution to form a federal system modeled after the United States. Their revolution was brutally suppressed but received covert support from Lamar while he was President of Texas. Now almost a decade later Lamar was fighting for the United States Army at Laredo Texas and supported his one-time ally. His order to furnish a gun and horse during war-time to a Mexican citizen is very striking for how it complicates portrayals of loyalty during the Mexican-American War. This letter within its historical context is an excellent example of the ideological divisions that plagued Mexico around the time of Texas independence and the war with America. The letter is in fine condition with a few folds that do not hinder understanding. The letter is framed in brown wood and matted in tan with a hand-colored portrait of Lamar. unknown
