"The Society was not greeted so warmly in the United States. Within months of the adoption of the Institution critics began to charge that the members planned to use the Society to impose a hereditary aristocracy on the new American republic. The leading critic was a South Carolina judge Aedanus Burke. In a pamphlet titled Considerations on the Society or Order of Cincinnati published in Charleston in late 1783 and soon republished all over the country Burke charged that the Cincinnati would form an American aristocracy dominating the government and extinguishing the liberties of the people. Dozens of other critics soon joined Burke and resolutions denouncing the Cincinnati were introduced into several state legislatures. At a moment when Americans were deeply anxious about the future of their untried experiment in republican government the Society of the Cincinnati stirred fears of a conspiracy to seize power and create a new aristocracy as the first step toward re-establishing a monarchy over America" societyofthecincinnati.org. Mirabeau picks up this argument in his "highly controversial imitation" of Burke's work which was suggested to Mirabeau by Ben Franklin" See Echeverria & Wilkie The French Image of America.

1785rif. 10514London: J. Johnson 1785. Hardcover book. Good overall. An English edition of the work Howes 653 "another edition L 1785 12 284". Written by Mirabeau at the suggestion of Benjamin Franklin this is a critique of the Society of the Cincinnati expanding on from a work by Aedanus Burke of South Carolina. The Order of Cincinnatus was founded in 1783 as a fraternal hereditary society dedicated to commemorate the American Revolutionary War and membership was made up of officers and descendants of military officers who had served in the Continental Army. Burke's pamphlet accused the Society of conspiracy to recreate the hereditary governments of Europe. While the accusations were unjustified they played an important role in the political debates of the 1780s including the efforts to revise the Articles of Confederation.

1791rif. 015877Paris: Lejay e poi Devaux 1791-92. .Precedée de tous les Discours et Ouvrages du meme Auteur prononcés ou publiés en Provence pendant le cours des élections. Par M. Etienne Méjan. - 5 volumi 125x21 cm in mezza pelle coeva dorso liscio ornato e dorato con tassello di titolo rosso fenditura alla cerniera del vol 1 e in coda la dizione Bibliothèque de Michel Chevalier. Ex libris di Chevalier anche all'interno di ognuno dei 5 volumi. Piatti con carta marmorizzata usure tagli gialli -Paginazioni: Vol 1: 4-396-IV pagine; ritratto di Mirabeau in antiporta. Una tavola ripiegata di tabelle fuori testo che si riferisce però al tomo 5. Vol 2: 4-514-IV pagine. Vol 3: 4-436-VII pagine. Vol 4: 4-362-II pagine. Vol 5: 538 pagine. Ricercata raccolta -sconosciuta allEinaudi e al Kress- degli interventi di Mirabeau allAssemblea Nazionale dal 1789 al 1791 pubblicata subito dopo la sua morte. Contiene numerosi pezzi di soggetto economico e finanziario per esempio: "Sur la proposition faite par M. Necker douvrir un emprunt de 30 millions"; "Sur le nouveau imprunt de 80 million proposé par M. Necker"; Discours sur la caisse descompte in polemica con Necker; Sur le papier monnoie; Motion pour létablissement dune caisse nationale; Discours sur le projet de banque nationale présenté par M. Necker; Discours sur le retour des Indes; numerosi interventi soprattutto nel IV vol. sulla emissione di assignats. Ma i discorsi potevano toccare naturalmente altri argomenti come "Sur les droits à donner aux Juifs et aux comediens" sic; "Discours sur le droit de paix et de guerre"; Eloge funebre de Franklin". Il 5° volume contiene per la prima volta in edizione completa uno dei più importanti lavori economici di M. le Observations préliminaires sur le premier rapport du comité des monnoies presentate il 12 dicembre 1790. Pp.11-224. Un errore del rilegatore ha spostato le pagg. 209-224 quaderno O dopo pag. 368. Inoltre la tabella fuori testo sui saggi delloro è stata per errore inserita allinizio del tomo 1. Proprio il saggio di Mirabeau venne poi ripreso e ripubblicato da Michel Chevalier nel suo "De la baisse probable de lor." Paris Capelle 1859 Einaudi 1050. 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.
