In-8 (197 x 124 mm), cartonnage marbré à la Bradel, pièce de titre de veau havane en long (reliure moderne), 16 p. Edition à la date de l'originale, non mentionnée par Bengesco, qui se distingue par l'orthographe de "May" au lieu de "Mai" au titre, "sans doute imprimée à Lyon". "Cet ouvrage peut servir de guide à une histoire des rapports imaginaires ou littéraires de Voltaire au monarque (...). Eloge paradoxal, parfait exercice de style (...), on reconnaît l'ambiguïté de la position de Voltaire face à Louis XV. Il se retrouve ici partagé entre le respect et la critique, le désir de réforme et la crainte d'une cassure plus préjudiciable que les abus eux-mêmes" (Jean Goulemot, 'Inventaire Voltaire', p. 468). (Voltaire à la B.N., n° 4321). Petite réparation au coin supérieur du dernier feuillet. Bon exemplaire.

5437Manuscript letter single folio sheet dated 16 February 1716 signed Louis in the hand of Louis XV's secretary countersigned by Louis Phélypeaux Marquis de La Vrillière Secretary of State addressed to Cardin Le Bret member of the parliament of Provence and nephew of the regent the Duc d'Orléans stating that a royal edict has been sent to the parliament of Provence 'which explains the circumstances in which merchants of my Kingdom must obtain passports from me to which edict I append a declaration forbidding any of my subjects to conduct commerce in the South Seas'; the verso with address of Le Bret; the document is complete legible and remarkably fresh with original folds. In France the period 1715-1723 is known as the Régence during which time Philippe Duc d'Orléans was in charge of the country's affairs owing to the fact that Louis XV was still a minor. In 1716 when this letter was written the War of the Spanish Succession had only recently ended and a member of the French House of Bourbon Philip V was now on the Spanish throne. The royal edict alluded to in the present letter ostensibly forbidding French subjects to conduct trade in the Pacific was typical of French diplomacy towards Spain in the early part of the eighteenth century. It was designed to allay Spanish fears that its monopoly of the rich resources along the western seabord of the Americas - namely the silver mines of Mexico and Peru - was under threat from the French but in reality the situation was quite different. While flattering the Spanish and officially appearing to discourage this type of trade France turned a blind eye toward its own merchants rounding Cape Horn and from the end of the seventeenth to well into the eighteenth century French private companies including the Compagnie de la Mer Pacifique or Mer du Sud and other private adventurers out of ports such as St Malo and La Rochelle conducted many voyages to the west coast of the Americas. These merchants carried royal passports which described the purpose of their voyages as being non-commercial in nature - they were simply exploring or acquiring scientific knowledge. Paradoxically these voyages proved so lucrative resulting in massive volumes of silver bullion for the French coffers that a genuine voyage of exploration in the Pacific was not carried out by the French until Bougainville 1766-69. Throughout this period England the new rival of France as a maritime superpower adopted an official policy towards the Spanish similar to that of the French - one of non-interference with the Spanish trading empire on the Pacific seaboard of the Americas - and it was not until the voyages of Wallis Carteret and Cook that it undertook serious exploration of the Pacific. unknown
174519251745 Couverture rigide Amsterdam, aux Depens de la Compagnie, 1749. Un petit volume in-12 (13 x 8 cm), pleine basane fauve marbrée de l’époque, dos à nerfs orné de fleurons dorés, quelques épidermures et rongements sur les coupes, coiffe supérieure arasée, petit manque de cuir en pied au 1er plat. Xxij 386 pages, rares rousseurs et mouillures claires, quelques annotations au crayon, ex-libris manuscrit au 1er contreplat. 3ème édition après l'originale parue en 1745. En tête figure la clé des personnages (17 pages). On sait que dans ces prétendus Mémoires on trouve, sous des noms orientaux, un récit satirique de tout ce qui s'est passé en Europe depuis la mort de Louis XIV, pendant la Régence et pendant les premières années du règne de Louis XV. Bien des personnages, aujourd'hui fort obscurs, figurent dans ces « Mémoires » que le gouvernement de la Restauration crut devoir encore faire saisir et mettre à l'index. (Drujon). Serait d’après Barbier (III, 245) le premier ouvrage où l’on parle du Masque de fer. Bon état intérieur.

Light age toning overall with minor warping to parchment. Some text especially along the central vertical fold and right margin is significantly worn impacting legibility. Opening in prominent script with the royal titulature: “Louis par la grâce de Dieu Roy de France et de Navarre.†Papier timbré stamp along left edge indicates execution within the Généralité de Tours and the text begins with the formal notarial preamble and Salut formula. Appears to pertain to a land transaction involving a Henry de la Grilliere. Marked in notarial hand at bottom "collationne" indicating that this is an expédition official engrossed copy of a royal act not signed by Louis himself but valid as a legal instrument because it bears the countersignature of his empowered secretary. The secretaire du roi in this case appears to be a "Rocheteau" as noted on fold-in: "Par le Roy / Rocheteau". Additional contemporary notes on the fold-in appear signed “Lahante.†<br> <br> RW Consignment. Shelved at Rockville Room A General Ephemera Part 2. In the Ancien Régime the expédition was the engrossed notarized copy of a royal act prepared for official or private use. Such documents were valid legal instruments even when lacking the King’s autograph as they bore the countersignature of a secrétaire du roi one of a small corps of royal secretaries empowered to issue acts in the monarch’s name. The Généralité de Tours an administrative and fiscal district centered on the city of Tours oversaw taxation legal recording and the enforcement of royal ordinances in the surrounding provinces. Documents on papier timbré stamped paper or parchment were required for most legal acts after the 1674 édit du timbre ensuring that the crown collected stamp duties on contracts wills property transfers and other instruments. 1402464.
