Dans ce prône, l'évêque constitutionnel qui eut l'abbé Grégoire pour élève, défend l'impôt qui, quand c'est la nation qui en règle le système et la distribution « n'est plus une taxe » et met en garde contre une désaffection à l'égard des conquêtes révolutionnaires qui pourrait suivre son introduction: « être esclave n'était que votre malheur. Le redevenir serait votre opprobre et votre crime. Il conclut par ses mots « Malheur au peuple Français, si jamais la constitution prend des nuances qui rassurent et qui apaisent les ennemis de la liberté ». « Même s’il conserve une notice dans la plupart des dictionnaires, le nom d’Adrien Lamourette n’évoque plus grand chose aujourd’hui . Au mieux se rappelle-t-on, en esquissant un sourire, le « baiser Lamourette », cette scène de réconciliation générale des députés provoquée par un discours de Lamourette appelant à l’union autour de la Constitution, lors de la séance du 7 juillet 1792, en plein débat sur la « patrie en danger ». « Le surnom populaire donné à cette scène et, plus généralement, le patronyme même de son auteur, de surcroît un ecclésiastique, n’incitent pas à prendre au sérieux le personnage. Pourtant, au vu de son itinéraire, il apparaît comme ayant joué un rôle non négligeable pendant les premières années de la Révolution » Caroline Chopelin-Blanc, in Annales historiques de la Révolution

L'autore condanna la persecuzione degli Ugonotti, considera i modi per ridurre il numero eccessivo di monaci e monache e favorisce le riforme fiscali al fine di ridurre la povertà e aumentare la popolazione. Il re fu offeso da quest'opera e l'autore fu mandato in prigione quando fu scoperta la sua identità.

Venne considerato come uno dei più grandi strateghi del XVII secolo. In-12°, pp.264, half calf binding, golden title at the spine, good copy. The present work is a treatise on France under Louis XIV. It examines the monarchy, the aristocracy, the clergy, the French economy, and foreign relations.
