182897115Paris: impr. Dezanche and impr. Pihan Delaforest and Delangle Freres 1828-1835. 1828-1835. Fair. - Octavo 8-1/4 inches high by 5-1/4 inches wide. Four pamphlets bound into early brown calf with an elaborate floral device embossed in blind at the center of both the front and rear covers within an elaborate outer gilt ruled frame with formal decorations. All edges are marbled. The rubbed & worn covers are detached and the spine has perished and thus lacking. The pagination is as follows: i-xii 1-96 pp.; 5 6-45 1 pp.; 5 folding plates; 5 6-66 pp.; 4 pp. 1-82. There is foxing throughout.<p>The ownership name of James Stewart and the faded date of "1881" is penned on the front blank. In what appears to be his hand the statement "From Pierre Soule" is penned along the top of the verso of the front endpaper. Additionally the attractive sienna-toned ex-libris bookplate of "R.G.S." is mounted on the front pastedown. <p>Stated to be from the library of Pierre Soule with his name signature at the head of the first pamphlet. Soule 1801-1870 was the French-born New Orleans attorney and Louisiana Senator.<p>The lawyer involved in these 4 cases Gustave Louis Chaix d'Est-Ange 1800 - 1876 was the son of the attorney general at the court of criminal justice of Reims. As a lawyer his oratorical talent was noted at the Paris bar where he practiced. He was entrusted with a number of important cases and from 1842-1844 was president of the Paris Bar Association.<p>1 Plaidoyer et réplique de Me Chaix-d'Est-Ange dans le procès d'Émile de La Roncière précédés d'une Note de M. le lieutenant-général Clément de la Roncière d'Esquisse préliminaire de M. Eugène Roch et d'une lettre de M. Émile de La Roncière adressée à "l'Observateur des tribunaux". Paris: De L'Imprimerie De Dezauche 1835. The sensational trial of Emile de La Ronciere 1803 - 1874 was most recently memorialized by John Fowles in his novel "The French Lieutenant's Woman". In chapter 28 of the novel he discusses the trial of the young cavalry officer who was accused of raping Marie the sixteen-year-old daughter of his commanding General Baron de Morell. The trial itself revolved around a series of anonymous letters threatening the Morell family and signed "E. de La R.". La Ronciere was found guilty and sentenced to ten years in prison. The verdict was controversial and has been debated for many years. In the pamphlet at hand is included the text of a letter to the l'Observateur des Tribunaux written by La Ronciere's father Clement de La Ronciere on August 25 1835 and one written by the imprisoned La Ronciere himself on September 10 1835. These are followed by a preliminary outline by Eugene Roch. The text from the trial is based on reporting in l'Observateur des Tribunaux journal des documens judiciaires. It begins with the plea of La Ronciere's attorney Chaix d'Est-Ange. Although misbound later in this collection of pamphlets facsimiles of items used as evidence in the trial are included. These include 4 folding facsimiles on which are printed 8 samples of handwriting of La Ronciere and of Marie de Morell. Also included on a fifth folding plate is a remarkable plan of the home of the Morells with a view of the floor where Marie's room was located.<p>2 Plaidoyer de Me Chaix-d'Est-Ange pour M. le ministre du Commerce et des Travaux publics intervenant contre M. Victor Hugo. Paris: Imprimerie De Pihan Delaforest 1832. Victor Hugo's play "Le Roi s'amuse" was the basis for the libretto of Verdi's opera Rigoletto. The opening of the play on November 22 1832 was highly anticipated. The opening night box office receipts were an enormous success but the play was not. Both the audience and the critic's responses were negative. However the most devastating response came from the Minister of the Interior. He saw the play as an attack on the royal family and ordered it suspended i.e. banned. In the Charter of 1830 censorship was stipulated to "never be re-established". This conflict led to a trial on December 19 1832. Odilon Barrot represented Hugo and Chaix d'Est-Ange represented the Ministry of Commerce. He took the unpopular stand that the State had the authority to examine dramatic works before production. His plea is published here. Hugo lost this free-speech debate and the play was banned for 50 years.<p>3 Plaidoyer de M. Chaix d'Est-Ange pour le sieur Auguste Labauve et les sieur et dame Formage plaignans et parties civiles contre Frédéric Benoît accusé. Paris: Imprimerie De Pihan Delaforest Morinval 1832. A VIVID ACCOUNT OF MATRICIDE! Frederic Benoit 1810 - 1832 known as "Le Parricide" was executed by the guillotine at the Place St. Jaques in the 14th arrondisement of Paris on August 30 1832. The story of Benoit's killing of his mother in November 1829 and that of his male lover seventeen-year-old Joseph Formage on July 22 1831 is well documented and need not be repeated here. In this civil plea of June 14 1832 on behalf of the butcher Auguste Labauve and also on behalf of Joseph Formage's parents Chaix d'Est-Ange outdoes himself in painting with vibrant colors the slaughter by Benoit of his own mother. Labauve was the second victim of this crime. In January of 1830 an anonymous letter was found threatening Benoit's father a justice of the peace as well as Labauve with the same fate as that of Madame Benoit. The letter was said to be in the hand of Labauve. He was brought to trial for murder and was acquitted by a divided jury. However he was sentenced to a 5 year prison term for having written the threatening letter.<p>4 Procès fait à la lettre adressée au duc d'Orléans par Cauchois-Lemaire. Paris: Delangle Freres Libraires 1828. In December 1827 the editor of the Constitutionnel Louis Francois Auguste Cauchois-Lemaire 1789 - 1861 published a notorious 69 page pamphlet "Sur la crise actuelle lettre a S.A.R. le duc d'Orleans". The pamphlet addressed to Louis-Philippe the Duke of Orleans was a powerful attack on the ultra-royalist government of Joseph de Villele and a denunciation of the so-called "massacre" that took place on the rue Saint-Denis on July 27 1827. Cauchois-Lemaire concludes his essay paraphrasing the French "Thus liberty awaits the day which should let it emerge from its prison. And we who are tired of the long wait together we call for a favorable star to hasten it." The result was that Cauchois-Lemaire was accused of trying to persuade the duc d'Orleans the "favorable star" to lead the opposition to the government and have it overthrown. He and the two publishers Ponthieu and Schubart were brought to trial on January 12 1828. Cauchois-Lemaire was sentenced to 15 months in La Force prison in addition to a fine. In defense of Cauchois-Lemaire Chaix d'Est-Ange given that the facts of the matter were difficult to vindicate delivered a brilliant thesis on constitutional law. The press at the time praised his eloquence. Cauchois-Lemaire himself was so impressed that he wrote Delangle Freres from prison on January 28 1828 requesting that they publish a transcript of the trial. That letter together with the proceedings of the trial are published here. Paris: impr. Dezanche, and impr. Pihan Delaforest, and Delangle Freres, 1828-1835. unknown

100986<p>London 19th Century. . Very good. - 4-pages detailing Lord Overstone's densely penned argument defending the 1844 Bank Act on 8-7/8 inch high by 7-1/4 inch stationery with a crest embossed in blind at top left of the first page. The manuscript in Overstone's hand is not signed. As the primary architect of the Act Overstone lays out his principles sometimes in a question & answer format.</p><p>"Bank Notes are not properly issued upon Credit: to whatever extent they are so they deviate from their true and proper character. Money - is distinguished from all Securities etc. by resting upon its intrinsic value and not upon Credit. Bank Notes possessing an absolute certainty of commanding Gold at all times rest upon their intrinsic value and are therefore Money.'What was the necessity for altering the system of credit issues as they existed before 1844'. Answer. Credit Issues are not Money - they may or they may not carry with them the command of real value - to make them legal tender is unjust & dishonest it is a bad & inexpedient form for the adjustment of transactions. By changing the character of these Credit Issues - and making them Issues of certain value - we have substituted honest Money for the dishonest semblance of it - and thus given the Country that which it can justly compel all parties to receive in discharge of Debts.'Bank Notes really convertible' Answer: There lies the gist of the whole question. The convertibility must not rest upon the discretion of the parties issuing - that is Credit. But upon the certainty that the thing into which the Bank Note is to be converted is held in readiness for that purpose. That is Money. 'then he will run off etc' Answer: No doubt he will run off into the brambles & thorns & pitfalls of deposits credits bills of exchange etc. But follow him seize him collar him drag him back into the open field and the broad daylight - and then say to him - Sir. You have passed a dishonest delusion upon the public - You have issued as Money a great number of paper promises to pay Money whenever called upon - and you have done so without taking the necessary precautions to render the non fulfillment of that promise absolutely impossible.Therefore if you please Sir give us your hands. We must tie them behind your back with the Act of 1844. And now you may go and play the fool amongst credits capital Bills of Exchange for as much as you like. Men may trust you who choose - they do it of their free will and at their own risk. But what we make them take as Money they shall be well assured will under every possible contingency produce to them the Hard Cash on their demand". As a finale Overstone turns to drama: "Exeunt. Tooke. cursing swearing and abusing. / Wilson. equivocating tossing figures about in all directions and invariably turning them upside down. / with a long train of followers some blind some halt some lame - most of them waddling - one half of them frightened at their own shadow - the other half putting their hands into their neighbors pockets. / Restat. John Bull. solus. counting carefully to see that he has as many Sovereigns in one pocket as he has Bank Notes in the other."</p><p>Folded several times horizontally and vertically with an annotation identifying the manuscript as by Overstone discreetly penciled at the top of the first page. There is an additional vertical annotation faintly penned in red over a few words at right of the last page though not affecting the legibility to the text. Very good.</p><p>Samuel Jones Loyd Lord Overstone 1796-1883 was a British banker and leader of the "Currency School". The "Currency Rule" proposed that the bank should hold 100% gold reserves on note issues making bank notes the same as currency. He virtually authored the 1844 Bank Charter Act "Peel's Act". The Banking Act tied the issuing of notes strictly to gold reserves. Loyd succeeded his father as head of the Jones Loyd & Co. bank in 1844.</p><p>James Wilson 1805-1860 was the editor of The Economist. He was the leader of the "Banking School" which argued against strict limitations on the issuing of bank notes.</p><p>Thomas Tooke 1774-1858 was a prominent British economist who was also a leading figure in the "Banking School".</p> [London], 19th Century.
