Esemplare quindi di straordinaria provenienza. Mirabeau avait à cette date 41 ans. Il avait en finances des connaissances etendues mai sourtout dexcellents conseillers qui lui preparaient ses papiers. Ses idées en matière monétaire mériteraient une étude trés attentive: on sait che sa volumineuse Constitution monetarire a passé longtemps pour un classique de la littérature monetaire et Michel Chevalier la publiait encore en 1859: Guy Thuillier Les idées monetaires au debut de la Révolution: Mirabeau et la réforme monetaire de 1785 Roma Accademia dei Lincei 1979 pp.7.

The Order of Cincinnati a modern order of chivalry was instituted by Washington to reward the French and Americans at the end of the War of Independence. The creation of this order was initially criticized in the United States itself as contrary to the democratic principles of equality. Mirabeau's work then residing in England takes up these criticisms and extends them to all noble heredities. The translation of Richard Price's work major in the history of American democratic ideas was requested by Benjamin Franklin. A letter from Turgot attached to the whole asks Americans to be more scrupulous in the future regarding democratic principles. Chez J. Johnson unknown

The work written during and after Mirabeaus arrest and imprisonment at Vincennes is both a plea and an indictment against arbitrary justice and power. « J'entreprends de parler des emprisonnements arbitraires et des prisons d'état. » The volume contains numerous historical commentaries and substantial documentation on arbitrary authority and judicial practice. In the second part Mirabeau deals more specifically with prison life and incarceration.
