In-8, broché, sous couverture papier moderne, (2), 92 p. Rare édition originale et unique de cet essai attribué à Pierre-Hyacinthe Duvigneau (1752-1794) par Hervé Leuwers ('L'invention du barreau français, 1660-1830', Paris, EHESS, 2006, p. 257 note 33). Avocat puis procureur au parlement, il fut guillotiné en 1794. Il est également l'auteur de comédies et de cantates, rédacteur des "Annales de la municipalité de Bordeaux et du département de la Gironde" (1790-1791). "Le 8 février, il paraît [cette] brochure où le patriotisme triomphe de tous les sophismes dont les royalistes ont voulu faire usage pour le combattre. L'auteur anonyme défend vigoureusement le Parlement de toutes les inculpations vagues dont on l'a chargé, et finit par désirer que l'on substitue les États provinciaux au régime politique imaginé par la Cour. Il y a de la chaleur, de la raison et de l'ordre dans cet écrit" (Pierre Bernadau, 'Les débuts de la révolution à Bordeaux', p. 10). ("Catalogue des livres composant la Bibliothèque de la ville de Bordeaux", 3203. Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 88:1309). Quelques traces grises. Bon exemplaire, imprimé sur fort papier bleuté.
