‎FLEURIOT, Jean Marie, Marquis de Langle‎

‎Voyage du Figaro en Espagne, 127pp. Currente Rota. A Séville, aux dépens du Barbier, 1785‎

‎Rare édition à la date de l'originale de ce texte qui eut un succès de scandale. Bien que n'ayant jamais mis les pieds en Espagne, Fleuriot y dresse, de manière piquante, un tableau noir de l'Espagne et des espagnols, critiquant leur gouvernement, leur religion et leurs murs (Saragosse, Madrid, les Courtisanes, Café, Population, Manière de recevoir les étrangers, Cachots, de la Sieste, le Roi, Danses, De la Vierge, Petits-Maîtres, des Ordres, etc ). Ce récit fit un tel scandale que le roi Charles III s'en plaignit au gouvernement français et menaça d'interdire l'entrée de son royaume à tous les Français. L'ouvrage fut alors condamné à être brûlé par arrêt du Parlement de Paris du 26 février 1786, après un long et virulent réquisitoire de l'avocat général Séguier. reliés à la suite: La folle journée ou le mariage de Figaro, comédie en cinq acte, Paris, 1875 ( 72pages ) + Les maris corrigés, comédie en trois actes et en vers, M; de la Chabeaussière, Toulouse, chez Broulhiet, 1782 (40pp) + Le vieux garçon, comédie par Thamas Koulis Kan, Paris, chez Didot, 1784 ( 47pp) + Le séducteur, comédie, Marquis de Bièvre, Paris, chez Prault, 1784 ( 72pp) volume gd in8, 20x15, reliure postérieur, très bon état de l'ensemble. ref/25‎

‎First edition of this splendid work, in which the observations from the testing of Berthaud's marine chronometer were presented for the first time. Fleurieu took part in a one-year sea campaign to test Berthoud's first marine chronometer, in an attempt to beat Britain in the race to find a reliable way to calculate longitude. The chronometers he thus refined with Ferdinand Berthoud for their later experiments, were the object of major struggles with the king's horologer, Pierre Le Roy. Finally, Claret de Fleurieu and Berthoud were entrusted with the task, setting out on the testing expedition from autumn 1768 to 11 October 1769 on the frigate Isis under Fleurieu's command. The chronometers almost invariably indicated the hour as accurately after the ship had left port, as if they were still on land. Knowing the actual local time at each present location by astronomy, they could easily determine the ship's exact position and longitude on a chart. The results of their observations were published in 1773 under the title Voyage fait par ordre du roi, pour éprouver les horloges marines (""Voyage made by order of the king, to test marine chronometers"").Sabin, 24750.‎
