In-12, broché, couverture de papier gris ancien de livraison, 61 p. Edition originale de ce document relatif au procès à l'attentat perpétré par Damiens contre Louis XV et à la question de sa responsabilité. Savant champenois, biographe, collaborateur de l'Encyclopédie, historien et avocat, l'auteur Pierre-Jean Grosley (1718-1785) était attaché à sa ville de Troyes, à ses traditions gallicanes et de fronde janséniste. Il développe la thèse que Damiens, simple valet, très médiocre intellectuellement, ne pouvait pas avoir, par lui-même, des mobiles politiques et qu'il ne fut que l'instrument d'une vaste conspiration. Il cherche à écarter tous soupçons qui pourraient peser sur les milieux parlementaires pour charger les jésuites dont il récapitule le rôle dans les différents régicides. L'auteur laisse planer le soupçon du manque de partialité des magistrats instructeurs du procès, étant donné leur proximité supposée avec les jésuites. L'auteur arriva second au concours de l’Académie de Dijon de 1750 que remporta Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Il a collaboré aux volumesIV et XIV de l’Encyclopédie Diderot-D’Alembert. Le pamphlet fut condamné au feu par arrêt de la cour du 30 mars 1757. (Conlon, Siècle des Lumières, 57:817). Bon exemplaire, frais, bien conservé.

basane brune, dos à nerfs orné, titre doré au dos, tr. jaspées, p. de tit. rouge et noire, vignettes et lettrines, ex-libris ancien, (plats frottés, petite coupure sur le premier plat, ors passés, coiffe inf. un peu courte dégageant la tranchefile, petit accroc à un mors inf., coins et coupes élimés avec manques, qq. rousseurs et lég. acidification, petite rognure en marge extérieure des 4 premiers f.) Dupin (n° 1381) donne les informations suivantes :"E. fut d’abord avocat au parlement de Grenoble, ensuite avocat général et l’un des présidents du même parlement ; après cela premier président du sénat de Chambéry. Il mourut en 1636". Dans cette dernière édition publiée de son vivant figure un curieux "avertissement au lecteur" dans lequel il accuse de contrefaçon la Rocheflavin dont le célèbre ouvrage "les treize livres du parlement de France" aurait largement reproduit son recueil. Il est vrai que celui-ci est d’une particulière qualité dans la mesure où il contient un recueil très substantiel d’arrêts bien expliqués (dans les arrêts remarquables on citera ceux sur les libertés de la ville de Grenoble, sur des questions d’avortement, sur le fait qu’un "condamné aux galères ne purge l’accusation par la torture soutenue…"). Mais il faut également souligner l’important recueil de plaidoyers (sur la présentation des docteurs ès droit pour être reçus en parlement, si la mort civile par la condamnation aux galères a pareil effet que la mort naturelle, sur un trésor trouvé, si le contrat de maintenance d’une horloge est rendu caduc par le fait que l’horloge a été cassée et rompue "par le désordre des guerres", si les gageurs sont valables…).

The grand jury of Los Angeles County convicted Adams and others for operating a gambling ship in the waters of Santa Monica Bay at a point four miles beyond the end of the municipal pier of the city of Santa Monica and approximately six miles landward from a line drawn between the headlands Point Vicente on the south and Point Dume on the north. The case hinged on whether the ship's location was in international waters. Adams appealed his conviction and the order denying his motion for a new trial. In this brief Adams's lawyer argues that the ship was in international waters because the territorial limit is measured from the shoreline not the pier. unknown books
