Ensemble de 9 volumes in-8 (204 x 125 mm), plein veau fauve moucheté de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de doubles filets dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge, nom de "Boissy d'Anglas" doré en pied, filet à froid en encadrement des plats, roulette à froid sur les coupes. Ensemble complet de ce monumental ouvrage en 9 parties, devenu au fil des événements un périodique publié sur plus de dix années (1814 à 1824). "À l’origine de cet ouvrage, une commande de Bonaparte qui réclame à Montlosier un ouvrage établissant une continuité entre la monarchie, le Consulat et l’Empire, afin de fournir des arguments historiques à une réconciliation nationale. Montlosier retrace l’histoire de la monarchie en expliquant comment la noblesse a été progressivement écartée du pouvoir et dresse, en fait, un véritable réquisitoire contre la monarchie d’Ancien Régime. Napoléon refuse l’imprimatur en 1807 et l’ouvrage ne sera publié qu’en 1814. Seuls les trois premiers tomes composés entre 1804 et 1807 correspondent à la commande de Bonaparte; dans les suivants Montlosier développe l'idée d'une dégradation continue, depuis Hugues Capet de l’ancienne constitution de la France sous l’effet de l’usurpation progressive du pouvoir par le monarque au détriment des 'grands du royaume' (…). Dans ce renversement de perspective et des conséquences qu’il en tire pour analyser les causes profondes de la Révolution, Montlosier se montre novateur et amorce les nouvelles recherches du XIXe siècle, celles de Guizot et d’Augustin Thierry" (M.-F. Piguet, "Contre-révolution (…) Montlosier (1755-1838) penseur du conflit politique moderne", 'Astérion', 6 | 2009). Élu député aux États généraux de la noblesse, le comte de Montlosier (1755-1838) se montra favorable aux débuts de la Révolution avant de basculer dans la contre-révolution, à partir de 1791, aux côtés des monarchiens. S'il défendit toujours le régime monarchique, il était en revanche beaucoup moins fermement attaché au principe de légitimité dynastique. Il tenta un ralliement critique à Louis XVIII, puis à la Monarchie de Juillet qui le nomma Pair de France en 1832. Quelques accrocs à la reliure, sans gravité. Exemplaire de François-Antoine, comte de Boissy d'Anglas (1756-1826) avec son nom doré en pied de chaque volume. L'une des principales personnalités politiques de la période, girondin modéré, il participa à pratiquement tous les gouvernements depuis son élection au Tiers État en 1789, de la Révolution, de la république, de l'Empire puis de la Restauration où, rallié à Louis XVIII, il fut nommé pair de France. Bon exemplaire, frais, très bien conservé.

5 brochures reliées en un volume in-8, couverture de papier gris d'attente postérieure. 1 - Edition originale. Mirabeau répond aux critiques du comte de Guibert sur son grand ouvrage 'De La Monarchie prussienne" avant même que celui-ci ne soit sorti, "sur la foi périlleuse d'un prospectus": Fréderic II, la tactique et le système militaire prussien. (Martin & Walter, 24446). 2 - Véritable édition originale de premier tirage selon Lumet ('Oeuvres de Mirabeau, Les Écrits', p. 417). "C'est le philosophe moraliste qui apparaît ici. Persuadé que l'agiotage (spéculation), qu'il lie au monopole, est une calamité, Mirabeau en trace un historique, insiste sur ses "résultats sinistres et apporte, en quelque sorte, une théorie de l'agiotage " (INED, n° 3185). 3- Edition originale de ce pamphlet dans lequel Mirabeau critiquait les Parlements alors que le roi et ses ministres étaient en conflit ouvert avec les magistrats. La publication de ce texte, sans nom d'auteur, entama la popularité de Mirabeau. "L'ouvrage apparaissait comme un texte commandé par le pouvoir royal et rédigé par un homme qui attend, en retour, une place pour assurer son quotidien". (Martin & Walter, III, 24624. Barbier, 'Anonymes', IV, 301-302). 4- Edition à la date de l'originale. "Dès la mort du grand Frédéric (17 août 1786), Mirabeau s'offrant en mentor à son successeur, lui adresse [ce] mémoire (…), véritable plan de gouvernement. Le nouveau roi répondit à l'auteur le 20 août 1786. Ce n'est que plusieurs mois après, l'année suivante, que Mirabeau publia sa lettre pour répondre aux critiques" (Henry Aureille). (Martin & Walter, III, 24449). 5- Edition originale, rare, de cet essai composé par Samuel Romilly, traduit par Etienne Dumont et publié par Mirabeau. Bentham aurait aidé Romilly dans son travail. Selon Etienne Dumont dans ses "Souvenirs sur Mirabeau" (éd. 1832, p. 164 et s.): "Romilly avait fait un travail très intéressant (…). Ces 'règlemens' sont le fruit d’une expérience raisonnée, et plus on les examine, plus on les admire (…). Ce petit code indiquait la meilleure manière de poser les questions, de préparer les motions, de les débattre, de recueillir les suffrages, de nommer les comités (…); en un mot, toute la tactique d’une assemblée politique. J’avais traduit cet écrit au commencement des États-Généraux; Mirabeau le présenta et le déposa sur le bureau des communes, lorsqu’il était question de faire un règlement pour l’Assemblée nationale. "Nous ne sommes pas Anglais et nous n’avons pas besoin des Anglais": voilà la réponse qui lui fut faite. On ne donna pas la plus légère attention à cet écrit, qui fut imprimé ; on ne daigna pas s’informer de ce qui se passait dans un corps aussi célèbre que le Parlement britannique (...). Ils aimèrent mieux persister dans le mode de délibération le plus mauvais et le plus dangereux; la séance du 4 août en était la preuve". (Martin & Walter, II, 11905). Quelques petites déchirures sans perte. Quelques auréoles et brunissures, prononcées en fin de volume. Provenances: Stanislas Girardin (1762-1827), avec son ex-libris gravé et Édouard Laboulaye (1811-1883), avec sa signature ex-libris autographe sur le premier titre.

Ensemble relié en 2 volumes in-4 (269 x 200 mm), plein veau porphyre de l'époque, dos à nerfs ornés de compartiments fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de veau vert bronze, triples filets d'encadrement sur les plats, filets sur les coupes, dentelle intérieure, dorés sur tranches. Edition originale de la collection de format in-4°, des ‘Mémoires’ et des ‘Observations’ présentés à l'Assemblée des Notables, comportant les deux séries, chacune en "quatre divisions", publiés par ordre du Roi et imprimés pour les Notables "qui n'a été remise qu'à eux et pour eux seuls". Secrétaire de l’Assemblée, c’est Dupont de Nemours qui en fut le principal rédacteur. "Il accepta de rester au second rang pour poursuivre sa revanche de la chute de Turgot (...). L'Assemblée se montra favorable à la suppression des corvées et accepta l'impôt territorial, comme Dupont l'avait réclamé. Elle marque une victoire des idées physiocratiques" (Schelle, 'Dupont de Nemours’, p. 266 et s.). Les "Troisième et quatrième divisions" des 'Observations' figurent en un volume séparé sous page de titre et de faux-titre particulières, paginées 222 à 696. Les "Première et seconde divisions" de ces 'Observations présentées au Roi' (222 p.) manquent. Très rare, ils n'ont été publiés qu'à petit nombre d'exemplaires Coiffes et mors frottés (fendus en tête du premier caisson sur 4.5 cm), quelques épidermures. Provenance: Famille de Bauffremont, avec ex-libris héraldique à la devise: "Dieu aide au premier Chrétien" au deux volumes.

In Ottoman script. 72 p., 14 cedvels (schemes) and [14] p. color statistics. Meclis-i Mebûsân Birinci devre 1325-1326 içtimai. 326 senesi muâzene-i umûmîsi hakkinda [.] kaleme alinan esbâb-i mûcibe mazbata-yi umûmîsi. Meclis-i Mebûsân (The Chamber of Deputies) of the Ottoman Empire was the lower house of the General Assembly, the Ottoman Parliament. Unlike to the upper house, the Senate, the members of the Chamber of Deputies were elected by the general Ottoman populace, although suffrage was limited to males of a certain financial standing, among other restrictions that varied over the Chamber's lifetime. The Second Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire began shortly after Abdul Hamid II was forced to restore the constitutional monarchy after the 1908 Young Turk Revolution. The period established many political groups and parties. Ahmet Riza became the first President of the Chamber in 1908. An amendment in 1909 to the original 1876 constitution resulted in the Chamber gaining more true political power at the expense of the non-democratically elected Senate and the Sultan. A series of elections during this period resulted in the gradual ascendance of the Committee of Union and Progress's (CUP) domination in politics. The second largest party Liberal Unionist Party (LU) (Turkish: Hürriyet ve Itilâf) was in fact a coalition of parties led by Prince Sabahaddin. This is a rare protocol register book of Meclis-i Mebûsân. First and Only Edition. Not in Özege.; Not in OCLC.

Volume in folio, legatura posteriore in mezza pelle, sguardie, occhiello, frontespizio, dedicatoria, secondo occhiello, prefazione, XV pp., 1416 colonne (708 pp.), bianca. Capitale raccolta degli atti e dei documenti delle Assemblee legislative costituite nel Regno sabaudo nell'arco di tre secoli, cinque anni dopo sarà stampata la seconda parte dell'opera che riguarderà gli anni dal 1561 al 1766. Suddivise per regioni e per epoche storiche, si trovano in questa colossale opera i rescritti e le decisioni che costituirono l'impianto legislativo della vita comune nel Regno sabaudo. Un esame che dà immediato risalto alle assonanze e dissonanze fra le varie comunità, i tentativi di definire, dopo la legislazione longobarda, un proprio Corpus giuridico su cui fondare il vivere comunitario. Una miniera immensa di notizie e di fatti che creano essi stessi la Storia, con la possibilità di seguire il cammino prima incerto poi sempre più spedito con cui, da un agglomerato di singole istanze di piccoli paesi, si arriva alla definizione di uno Stato unito e forte. Assolutamente poco comune e di difficile reperimento si presenta quest'opera pur con qualche difetto: il primo fascicolo slegato, una traccia di bruciatura (senza mancanza) al margine bianco superiore delle prime 15 carte, inoltre una fastidiosa fioritura della carta che dalle prime pagine va man mano diminuendo, limitandosi già dalla trentesima al solo margine interno bianco, fino a scomparire del tutto, lasciando il volume immacolato per il restante tre quarti. Importante.
574 pages. Index. "This book is for those individuals charged with implementing an audio system for which preliminary engineering has been completed. The task at hand, then, is one of executing this basic design with detailed drawings and installation procedures in a way which will minimize systems problems. In this way the book complements most other audio books which focus on systems and equipment layout and configuration. A world of detail and knowledge is needed to turn a rough design into an optimized, functional system, and this book addresses many of the issues associated with building systems." - from Preface.
