Internally very good slight tanning to a few pages. Honore Gabriel Riqueti comte de Mirabeau 1749-1791 was President of the National Assembly of France. Mirabeau was imprisoned intermittently after an altercation with a nobleman from 1774 until 1782. He was able to gain his freedom and defeat an impending death sentence through his oratory and legal acumen. This work An Essay on Despotism first published in 1775 helped establish Mirabeau as a powerful critic of the old regime. "Du fond d'un cachot le genie de la Revolution Mirabeau lance l'anatheme au despotisme et reduit celui qui se croit roi simplement parce qu'il est fils de roi a la condition d'un salarie que ses sujets peuvent remercier brutalement de ses services." Ch.L. Chassin. He was also an associate of the American Ambassador Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson who provided him with American pro-liberty pamphlets. Mirabeau played an import role in draft the 1789 "Declaration of the Rights of Man". As the revolution became increasingly radical Mirabeau attempted to divert it to a more moderate course in the mold of England's constitutional monarchy. His death in 1791 allowed for the more extreme elements of the revolution Robespierre to come to greater prominence. On this book Gazette Litteraire states: "C'est l'ouvrage le plus fort qui ait encore ete ecrit sur la matiere. Il fut compose durant les dernieres annees doppression du regne de Louis XV pour ranimer les restes d'une liberte mourante dont il depeint les injustices les vexations les atrocites avec une plume de fer."

Contemporary half calf gilt spines with red labels and marbled paper boards red marbled edges. The two portrait are of Fredric II and Catharine the Great. Behind the first part is a new titelpage with â€Letters d’un voyageur anglois†behind the third part is â€Essai sur la secte des illuminés†by Jean Pierre Louis de Luchet or La Roche du Maine Marquis de Luchet with a separate extra title leaf. Several editions of both works were published in 1789 at least five of â€Essaiâ€. Mirabeau’s â€Histoire secrete†was first printed in Alençon and made a scandal and was banned immediately after its publication. In the present edition the half-title and the title pages to part one and two are printed on different paper than the rest probably a titel-auflage. Luchet 1740-92 was a French officer journalist and librarian. In ’Essai sur la Secte des Illumines’ â€he denounces the leaders of the Bavarian Illuminati whom he accused of controlling Freemasonryâ€. hardcover

Interno in ottime condizioni. Edizione Originale di questo libro précurseur du reportage politique che provocò tanti guai a Mirabeau che inutilmente tentò di negarne la paternità. Cette révélation indiscrète des maneuvres diplomatiques de M. écrites dans un esprit de critique amère et avec la licence dun libelle souleva touts les esprits contre lauteur. Louis XVI crut devoir une satisfaction au corp diplomatique et ce libelle fut condamné le 10 février 1789 a etre laceré et brulé au pied du Grand Escalier par la main du bourreau Superchièries II-1158. Gli amici di M. lo giustificarono dicendo che voleva salvare dal fallimento col suo best-seller il libraio Lejay cui era molto legato.
