acquited in Vendôme and wrote quite a number of radical democratic and anticlerical pamphlets.

First edition. These letters deal with
the fiscal indemnities of the church and in spite of the Latin device in the title completely written in French.
They are said having been written on request of France's controller-general Machault to support the
introduction of the
vingtième in 1749. Machault replaced the tax of the tenth, a war tax
not paid by all classes, by a tax of the twentieth, a tax to be paid by the nobility and the clergy as well. The
letters caused a stir and the book was forbidden soon after publication and put on the index the next year,
but nevertheless reprinted various times. Stourm praises the author for the highness of the views that
inspired him: 'equality for taxation is expressed here in remarkable terms'.

First edition. A defence of Jean
Chastel's failed attempt upon the life of Henry IV in 1594. Jean Boucher, priest of Saint-Benoît and
one of the most ardent leaders of the Ligue in Paris, for a time regarded as the true 'king of the Ligue'. He
here justifies the attempt by stating that it was 'right and heroic' and urges for a new and more fortunate
attempt, which indeed took place in 1610 and provoked the appearance of a second edition of this. Charles
Labitte characterizes this by stating that this murder 'never has been approved with more scholastic
coolness, cold rigour and thirst for blood'.

Second edition, published shortly
after the first edition the same year. It contains nine seditious sermons delivered in Paris during the first
nine days of August 1593. Jean Boucher exposes Henry IV's conversion to catholicism as false and
pretended and summons the people to dismiss the pretended catholic king, thus stating the right of
insurrection of the people. These sermons are said to embody the political programme of the Ligue,
described by Charles Labitte as 'a bizarre alliance of democracy and theocracy, the amalgamation of
medieval papal supremacy with calvinist sovereignty of the people'. Jean Boucher, priest of Saint-
Benoît and one of the most ardent leaders of the Ligue in Paris, for a time regarded as the true 'king
of the Ligue', here returns to the arguments of his renowned

First edition. A plea
for the confiscation of the properties of the church, embroidering on the theme treated earlier by the
marquis de Puységur (
Discussion intéressante sur la prétention du clergé
d'être le premier ordre d'un état, 1767). The present worldly possesssions prevent the
clergy to devote all their attention to the religious and moral welfare of the people and hence the welfare of
the whole nation. The state on the other hand can make much better use of the properties of the church in
the interest of the whole nation. The author also argues for reducing the number of priests and monks, the
'class of bachelors of the State'.
The author is best known by his plea for the legislation of divorce (
Législation du
divorce, 1769) and for an important treatise on population (
Mémoire sur la
population, 1768), for which he was grouped by Spengler among the 'repopulationists'. Nothing
seems known about the author other than that he was a lawyer. A third edition of this was published in
1791 with the author's name.

First and only edition? Cormenin was
a liberal journalist and member of the opposition against Louis Philippe in the French parliament, best
known for his popular
Pictures of the French, published under the pseudonym Timon (originally
in French as
Etudes sur les orateurs parlementaires in 1836 and again as
Livre des
orateurs).
According to the preface these volumes were published in Belgium because the freedom of the press did not
longer exist in France. They are made up of Cormenin's writings in French and foreign journals, to which
are added published and unpublished writings by different other authors whose names could not be unveiled
because it would cause them great trouble. 'This curious and trenchant collection is very useful for the
legislative and political history of the revolution of July ...' *Not in Vicaire. The long article in Larousse
XIXe does not quote these volumes. NCC lists one (apparently incomplete) set (UB Leiden) only.

An important run of a very
important journal from the early days of the French revolution, a summit in the history of the freedom of
the press. The
Courier de Provence reported about the discussions in the National Assembly and
with that about all exciting events of the first years of the Revolution. It was founded by the comte de
Mirabeau, deputy of Provence for the Third Estate, greatest orator of the Revolution, major spokesman of
the Constituent Assembly, its president since January 1791, yet also a 'secret agent of Louis XVI' working
for the restoration of the monarchy. Though more concerned with private political ambitions than with
ideological considerations he exercised a profound influence on the course of events during the first two
years of the Revolution.
At the opening of the Estates General Mirabeau published two numbers of a journal called
Etats
généraux (2 and 5 May 1789), in which he attacked the government. On 6 May a
decree was published forbidding 'printers, booksellers and all others to print, publish or distribute any
prospectus, journal, or other periodical publication, under whatever name it may appear', the next day
followed by a decree particularly directed against Mirabeau's journal. The Assembly strongly protested
against this violation of the freedom of the press and Mirabeau himself decided to continue his journal,
though under the title
Lettres à ses commettans. After the publication of nr 19 this title
was changed into the present
Courier de Provence, in the beginning with the earlier title as a
subtitle. It is now not longer a work of Mirabeau alone, but a collective work with contributions by many
other revolutionaries, like Etienne Claviere, Brissot de Warville and Pierre Etienne Louis Dumont. Its
publication was suspended with nr 350 of 30 September 1791 when the Constituent Assembly was closed
and the political power went over into the hands of the Legislative Assembly. Mirabeau had died already in
April that year.
The present set covers many of the important events of the first two years of the Revolution: the October
days, the march on Versailles on 5 October and the return of the royal family to Paris the next day and the
defeat of the moderates in the Assembly, the confiscation of the properties of the church and the creation of
assignates (March-April 1790), the introduction of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy (12 July 1790), etc.

August 1796 to undermine the Directory and prepare a Bourbon restoration, but the organization had hardly
been completed when its main leader the abbé André Charles Brottier and several others
were arrested. The Institut proceeded its counterrevolutionary activities for some years, particularly in the
south of France, but in spite of support by English agents it played only a minor role in local insurrections.

A treatise on the present political
situation in France, the monarchy, the French clergy and the Huguenots, the nobility, the administration
and the miserable fiscal system, etc. Though it was published anonymously and outside France it yielded its
author fifteen days imprisonment. The author criticises the abuses of the clergy and the persecution of the
protestants and he discusses the means for increasing French population. Various authors have ranged him
among the precursors of Vauban and the abbé de Saint-Pierre.
There were at least 3 editions with the present imprint: an original edition printed in Amsterdam by Pierre
Elzevier counting 264p., and 2 counterfeit editions both published in Brussels and counting [VIII],166p.

Two memoirs presented to the Breton Parliament at Rennes in December 1761 and May 1762. They are
among the most renowned charges against the Jesuits and greatly contributed to their expulsion from France
in 1764. La Chalotais was royal attorney-general at the Breton Parliament and held ideas close to the
encyclopaedists. He was a good friend of d'Alembert, who is said having contributed to the present work.
The first edition appeared the same year in-4to.

First edition. A textbook for
republican philosophy and revolutionary virtues particularly written to instruct the rural population of
France. It is written in the form of conferences between a farmer and the philosopher, with chapters on
government, equality, freedom, religion, tolerance, etc.
The author was a lawyer and journalist from Sarzeau (Morbihan) and a member of the Legislative and of the
Convention. That this is a posthumous work is fictious as the author did not die before 1813.
