Paper on the back partly gone. Somewhat dog-eared Note: The most important evolution in European warfare of the 17th century was the expansion of its armies. This development started about 1630 rose to a high level during the French wars of expansion 1660-1710 and continued in the 18th century. The increase in scale made it necessary to professionalize logistics administration and the recruting of soldiers. Most countries formed standing armies. This brought an end to the undisciplined mercenary armies of uncertain loyalty and strengthened the grip of the central governments on the military. The result was a further knitting together and a growing identification between the nation and its armed forces. The first Military Academies were established and the compulsory conscription of young and able citizens was organized. The officer's corps consisted predominantly of loyal noblemen who found in the army a vehicle for their ambitions. Source R. Lesaffer Europa: een zoektocht naar vrede 1453-1763 en 1945-1997. Leuven 1999 p. 315-317 � This book anonymously published in 1767 was written by an officer of the R�giment des Gardes Fran�aises the infantery regiment of la Maison du Roi of France the core of the French army and also responsible for guarding the exterior of the Versailles and for maintaining public order in Paris. The aim of this officer was to civilize his colleagues and soldiers of the French army. The occupation of a warrior is he says a noble and grave one. p. 10 However the reputation of the French army he continues is lousy. 'Sans les exc�s auxquels nos Troupes ont �t� capables de se porter nos diverses Campagnes au-del� des Monts auroient eu des suites plus heureuses; la France compteroit peut-�tre la Hollande au nombre de ses Provinces; les Allemands nous aimeroient & notre nom seroit honor� chez nos autres voisins'. p. 12 The French soldier should not rape and plunder but he should behave himself. 'Un Soldat tel que le demande de la gloire & l'inter�t de l'Etat est un homme qui se fait un devoir de suivre sa Religion d'aimer sa Patrie qui sait marcher � l'ennemi & le combattre'. p. 15/16 He should love his country and his Monarch. 'Quelque soin que prenne l'amour-propre de grossir notre m�rite � nos yeux l'attachement sacr� des Fran�ois � leur l�gitimes Souverains doit �tre regard� comme la seule qualit� solide qui les distingua de tous tems des autres peuples' p. 28 The role of the �cole Militaire is important. 'C'est dans ce temple de Mars que sont conserv�s avec dignit� les restes pr�cieux d'un peuple de H�ros qui ne connurent point d'autre fortune que celle de l'Etat c'est-l� que croissent sous les yeux de Minerve de jeunes Hercules . c'est de l� que sortiront des Officiers . & que le Soldat n'appercevra en eux aucun des vices ni des ridicules qui sont les suites d'une �ducation campagnarde ou eff�min�e'. p. 32 The identity of the author of this book is revealed by the French author and philosopher Voltaire already in the September issue of the Mercure de France of 1767. There we find on p. 29: a 6 line poem announced as 'Vers de M. de Voltaire au sieur Desrivi�res Soldat du R�giment des Gardes-Fran�oises de la Compagnie De la Tour � l'occasion d'un livre intitul�: Loisirs d'un Soldat &.: 'Soldat digne de X�nophon / Ou d'un C�sar ou d'un Biron / Ton �crit dans les coeurs allume / Un feu d'une h�ro�que ardeur; / Ton R�giment sera vainqueur / Par ton courage & par ta plume'. Not much is known about this Ferdinand Desrivi�res dit Bourguignon. Desrivi�res was born in 1734 in the Bourgogne and was an officer sergent who wrote in his spare time his Loisirs to instruct and enlighten his fellow officers. He signed the preface to this treatise with DRS. Des Rivi�reS His Loisirs was first published in Paris by the publisher/librarian Charles Saillant in 1767 and found several reissues. It was translated into German in 1770. In the same year of its first publication 1767 an augmented second edition was published in Amsterdam. Desrivi�res added a short continuation in which he discussed several reviews of his Loisirs. He later published also an Essai sur le vrai m�rite de l'Officier 1769 which was republished in 1771 under a new title: Suite des loisirs d'un Soldat. Guerrier d'apr�s l'Antique et de bons originaux modernes. In 1770 he produced a Compliment des Gardes fran�oises � Msgr. le Dauphin sur son mariage to congratulate the crown prince the later King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette. He did so en vers grivois. The Amsterdam edition was possibly produced in cooperation with the Huguenot publisher Marc Michel Rey 1720-1780 who resided in Amsterdam and published many titles of French philosophers. Rey and Saillant had e.g. previously collaborated in the production Du Contrat Social of the French philosopher J.J. Rousseau. The description of the Biblioth�que National calls the Amsterdam address of this 1767 edition fake and observes that the book was produced with permission tacite. The first part of this second edition of the Loisirs p. 9-132 is a line for line reissue of the first edition of Paris 1767. Only the preliminary pages are printed with different type face. The remaining pages p. 133-174 contain the added observations of Desrivi�res concerning reviews of the first edition. From the same press comes the second volume the R�ponse des Soldats du R�giment. These 3 parts are seldom found toghether in one volume. The Regiment of Desrivi�res was disbanded on the 31th of August in 1789. Voltaire praises Desrivi�res as we have seen sky-high Xenophon Caesar but his contemporary the philosopher Denis Diderot 1713-1784 one of the editors of the famous Encyclop�die thought otherwise. He condems him utterly the man and his style. We cite his opinion on Desrivi�res' Essai sur le vrai m�rite de l'officier of 1769: 'C'est l'ouvrage d'un homme qui a nuls principes aucune cons�quence dans l'esprit; qui ne sait pas penser et qui ne sait encore moins �crire insolent et bas insultant l'�tranger et les subalternes flattant ridiculement les grands; qui se d�chaine contre ceux qui croient aux revenants et qui croit aux vertus h�riditaires qui recommande la bonne institution des jeunes gens et qui cite � la page suivante le m�rite de Duguesclin qui ne savait pas lire. C'est l'ouvrage d'un homme sans go�t et dont les pages sont farcies des plus ridicules citations en vers. Avec tout cela il est si doux de lire des propos ou des actions qui font honneur � l'esp�ce humaine que je ne m�priserais pas celui qui pourrait aller jusqu'� la derni�re page de ce livre et cela me serait arriv� si l'on ne m'e�t pr�venu que votre colporteur ne reprenait pas les livres coup�s'. Fragments in�dits de Diderot Revue de l'Histoire litt�raire de la France 1�re ann�e no. 2 1894 p. 169 The loyalty to the House of Bourbon according to Desrivieres essential for the courage of the French soldier desintegrated rapidly at the beginning of the French Revolution. 'The sympathy shown by the Gardes Fran�aises for the French Revolution at its outbreak was crucial to the initial success of the rising.' Wikipedia s.v. Gardes Fran�aises. There was desertion in June 1789 and on the 14th of July mutinous Gardes Fran�aises took part in the storming of the Bastille. What role the 55 year old if he was still alive Desrivi�res played in this history doesnot tell Collation: pi1 A8 B4 C8 D4 E8 F4 G8 H4 I8 K4 L4 M2; N8 O4 P8 Q1; A8 B4 C8 D4 Photographs on request unknown‎
