D.L.R. sur les brigues à la mort de Louys XIII 1662. Scarce. La Rochefoucauld 1613-1680 began writing his memoirs whilst recovering from a head-injury sustained at the battle of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine in Paris in 1652. They survive as an important record of life at the court of Louis XIII the infamous Cardinal Mazarin's rise to power and the period of aristocratic discontent that culminated in the Fronde rebellion of 1648-1653. The Mémoires were initially circulated privately before their unauthorised publication in 1662. La Rochefoucauld disowned this book and the modern academic consensus is that 'Less than half the work is by him and that very defective. The "Wars of Paris" is spurious; the "Retreat of the Duke de Longueville" pp 113-128 is by Saint-Evremond; the "Apologie for the Duke de Beaufort" is by Guillaume Girard' ESTC. ESTC R12738.

This anonymous treatise is attributed to La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt "a French social reformer who was forced to flee to England in 1792 due to his support of King Louis XVI during the French Revolution. Arriving in America in 1794 La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt toured the northern United States and Canada for several years before leaving for Hamburg in 1797 and returning to France in 1799." He also wrote "Travels through the United States of North America." This work focuses on the economic and social conditions of the United States and Canada. Lehigh University. "In the late 1700s on the heels of the American Revolution Philadelphia emerged as a national and international leader in prison reform and the transformation of criminal justice practices. More than any other community in early America Philadelphia invested heavily in the intellectual and physical reconstruction of penal philosophies and the region's jails and prisons reflected these evolving principles. Throughout the 1800s global and local observers looked to Philadelphia-particularly the Pennsylvania system of solitary confinement pioneered at Eastern State Penitentiary-as they modeled penal practices in their communities." Annie Anderson The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia. It is often argued that Walnut Street Prison in Philadelphia is the first prison in the United States. "One of Thomas Eddy's most noted philanthropic achievements was the reform of New York's penal laws. In the early 1790s he began a campaign to end branding whipping and solitary confinement in the state prisons. In 1796 he shepherded a bill through the state legislature that established new standards for the penitentiary system. He was appointed to oversee the construction of the first state prison and served from 1797 to 1801 as its first director." Evans 30674. Sabin 39054. HBS 69290. $2250. Moreau De Saint-Mery unknown
