An eloquent work in which he vigorously denounced the abuses of arbitrary power Les Lettres de cachet is a veritable indictment beginning with a history of French criminal law; Mirabeau goes on to denounce violently the organization of the prison administration at the end of the Old Régime."Des Lettres de cachet' is not only an eloquent protest against despotism a warm advocacy in favor of individual freedom but also a real work of scholarship filled with historical examples and which implies immense reading". Barbier."It is by history and by reason that Mirabeau fights against arbitrary detentions" P. Negrin."Des Lettres de cachet deserves great praise.

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
