In a law dated 18 March 1776 Louis XVI attempted to rationalize the organization of provincial governments and the present manuscript is the resulting report on the actual ranks and classes of the various provincial government officials. The principal governors are listed by name with emoluments and the ranks and numbers of subordinate officials are also noted. The principality of Monaco a French protectorate gives genealogical information in addition to the names and fiscal details. The government of Corsica is described as the last of the second class provinces ff. 99-101. The manuscript includes a table of contents for the provinces and concludes with six pages of financial summaries. This volume is of particular interest as it documents the French military and civil hierarchy on the eve of French involvement in the American Revolution. Notable figures with connections to the French participation include the Maréchal le Duc de Broglie governor of Metz who refused Lafayette's request to join. The Duc de Broglie was also patron of the Baron de Kalb. The Duc de Noailles governor of the royal house at Saint-Germain-en-Laye was the grandfather of Lafayette's wife. The comte de Rochambeau not named here was appointed in 1776 as governor of Villefranche; his rank is given as Major-Commandant 2600 livres. Rare and beautiful and dense with information on French administrative practice under the ancien régime. unknown

Contemporary inked numbers on the title-page. Trace of folding. Light creasing and tanning throughout; closed tears along the spine. Occasional spotting with light brown stains on the final leaf. Overall in very good condition. Scarce Lyon edition. With a woodcut vignette of the royal French arms on the title-page set against an allegorical background. Sewn. 12 p. The first treaty ever signed by the United States - France's formal recognition of American independence. Rare Lyon edition of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce concluded on 6 February 1778 between the Kingdom of France and the United States of America - the first official treaty entered into by the U.S. as a sovereign nation. Signed by American commissioners Benjamin Franklin Arthur Lee and Silas Deane the treaty recognized the United States as an independent entity in the eyes of a major European power a pivotal development in securing legitimacy abroad during the Revolutionary War. The treaty established mutual most-favored-nation trade relations protection for commercial shipping and reciprocal restrictions on fishing - notably the United States' agreement not to fish on the Newfoundland banks. It was signed concurrently with a secret treaty of military alliance though only the commercial treaty was published immediately in France. This Lyon imprint issued by the royal press and featuring the French arms on the title-page reflects the official dissemination of the agreement beyond Paris. The treaty was ratified by the Continental Congress in May 1778. France's entry into the war shortly thereafter shifted the balance of power and marked a turning point in the revolution. This was the first formal diplomatic agreement signed by the United States laying the groundwork for future international recognition and foreign policy. While Howes notes two Paris editions of 1778 - one of 23 and another of 8 pages both listed in the NUC - regional printings are known from Aix and possibly Grenoble recorded in only three copies. This Lyon printing is listed by Echeverria & Wilkie 778/35A who located only a single example in a private collection at the time of their bibliography. Rare in institutional holdings and seldom seen on the market. A very rare edition of a foundational treaty that marked the beginning of U.S. international diplomacy and a relationship vital to the success of the American Revolution.
