16-5052LuneÌville: Chez Claude-François Messuy 1761 and 1762. Folio. 24.5 x 40.2 cm. Contemporary calf with gilt spine; covers rubbed. 6-188-2-136-XII-2pp. The "compte général" lacks the plan de Nancy and 3 plates of ferronnerie.Cohen 250; OCLC Number: 939437546: While in exile in Lorraine between 1737 and 1766 the Polish King Stanislaw I was granted the title of Duke of Lorraine and Bar and used his position to endow a number of buildings and monuments in Nancy where he had his seat. The designs for the new buildings which included orphanages schools hospitals churches libraries and a new Hote de Ville for Nancy were drawn up by Emmanuel HeÌreÌ who published many of them in his Recueil des plans elevations et coupes tant geometrales qu'en perspective des chateaux jardins et dependances que le Roy de Pologne occupe en Lorraine . 2 vols Paris 1750-1752. In 1753 a supplementary volume was published as Plans et elevations de la Place Royale de Nancy . Paris; q.v. in the Supplement. While HeÌreÌ drew up the plans and oversaw the building work the administration and finances of the King's building programme were overseen by Nicolas LeÌopold Michel 'Controlleur de la Maison du Roi' see page 1 of part 2. The second part of the present work is explicitly said to be a public statement of the accounts kept by Michel. The first part has also been attributed to Michel by QueÌ€rard Rau and France-Lanord see below and by most library catalogues see the Avery Cat. Berlin Kat. and the BM. Gen. Cat although UCBA attributes both parts to HeÌreÌ. Although no firm evidence has been advanced for Michel's authorship of the first part of the text it is highly likely that he was involved. The text describes the buildings not in architectural terms but by detailing their planning and approval by official bodies the specifications for their construction the contracts and estimates drawn up and the administration of the actual building work. In many cases the specifications given to HeÌreÌ and to others are reprinted in full. Thus the first volume is to some extent a collection of official documents relating to the buildings edited together for public presentation and it can be presumed that many of the texts were drawn up under Michel's supervision. It could also be argued that primary responsibility for this part of the work lay with the King himself who had ordered and defined the limits of the works; indeed he is referred to as the 'Auteur' on page 8 of the 'Discourse PreÌliminaire' although this use of the word is more of a homage to Stanislaw's patronage than an actual statement of responsibility for the text. The 'Discourse PreÌliminaire' lavishes much praise on the King for his generosity and public spirit and notes that 'notre Ouvrage est un nouveau preÌsent que le Roi fait aÌ€ ses Peuples' p.5. The King paid for the publication which is also described as 'donneÌ lieu aÌ€ un suppleÌment' presumably supplementing HeÌreÌ's own very different work describing the buildings. HeÌreÌ's book contains 63 large-scale engraved plates and was no doubt expensive and the present publication may have been seen at least in part as a way of producing a rather cheaper and more generally accessible advertisement for Stanislaw's good works. For further details of the buildings involved see Julia Rau Emmanuel HeÌreÌ: premier Architecte von Stanislas Leszczynski in Lothringen 1705-1763 Berlin: Mann 1973; and Albert France-Lanord Emmanuel HeÌreÌ: architecte du roi Stanislas Nancy: Presses Universitaires de Nancy 1984. Both of these books reproduce many of the etched illustrations from the present work. Rau attributes both parts to Michel in a note on page 36 but in her bibliography describes them quite wrongly as the second edition of HeÌreÌ's Recueil p.303. In France-Lanord's bibliography both parts are attributed to Michel although they are listed both separately and together.

Warsaw is a major international tourist destination and a significant cultural political and economic hub. Its historical Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city rose to prominence in the late 16th century. The elegant architecture grandeur and extensive boulevards earned Warsaw the nickname Paris of the North. The city was largely destroyed by the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 the general Warsaw Uprising in 1944 and the systematic razing by the Germans in advance of the Vistula-Oder Offensive. Warsaw gained the new title of Phoenix City because of its reconstruction after the war. Lech Aleksander Kaczy ski 18 June 1949 - 10 April 2010 was a Polish lawyer and politician who served as the Mayor of Warsaw from 2002 until 2005 and as the President of Poland from 2005 until his death in 2010. Before his tenure as president he previously served as President of the Supreme Audit Office from 1992 to 1995 and later Minister of Justice and Public Prosecutor General in Jerzy Buzek's cabinet from 2000 until July 2001.

He later assumed professorial positions at Gda sk University and Cardinal Stefan Wyszy ski University in Warsaw. During the communist period Kaczy ski was an activist in the pro-democratic anti-communist movement in Poland the Workers' Defence Committee as well as the Independent Trade Union movement. In August 1980 he became an adviser to the Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee in the Gda sk Shipyard and the Solidarity movement. After the communists imposed martial law in December 1981 he was interned as an "anti-socialist element".
