1669In-12°, pp.264, legatura in mezza pelle con titolo al dorso in oro, buono stato. Il presente lavoro è un trattato sulla Francia sotto Luigi XIV. Esamina la monarchia, l'aristocrazia, il clero, l'economia francese e le relazioni estere. L'autore condanna la persecuzione degli Ugonotti, considera i modi per ridurre il numero eccessivo di monaci e monache e favorisce le riforme fiscali al fine di ridurre la povertà e aumentare la popolazione. Il re fu offeso da quest'opera e l'autore fu mandato in prigione quando fu scoperta la sua identità. Paul Hay du Chastelet (n. 1630 circa) era il figlio di un illustre avvocato francese con lo stesso nome, che è stato il primo segretario dell'Accademia di Francia. Venne considerato come uno dei più grandi strateghi del XVII secolo. In-12°, pp.264, half calf binding, golden title at the spine, good copy. The present work is a treatise on France under Louis XIV. It examines the monarchy, the aristocracy, the clergy, the French economy, and foreign relations. The author condemns the persecution of the Huguenots, considers ways to reduce the excessive number of monks and nuns, and favors tax reforms in order to reduce poverty and increase the population. The king was offended by this work, and had the author sent to prison when his identity was discovered. Paul Hay du Chastelet (b. ca. 1630) was the son of an illustrious French lawyer of the same name, who served as the first secretary of the French Academy. He is considered to be one of only two major strategists in Europe in the middle of the 17th century

rif. 22875En France, 1751. 70, (2) pp. 8vo. Modern boards. Conlon S51:11; not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in INED (see 1094 for the work by Chauvelin). The 'Avis de l'Editeur', printed verso title-page states the first manuscript was lost and that it had been necessary to ask the author for another copy of the manuscript. The author did indeed supply another copy of the manuscript but only after he had made considerable changes in the text. This suggests that this is the first printing of the text. The Examen Impartial was written by the Abbé Louis-Philippe Chauvelin in which he argued that, although the clergy was entitled to its special prerogatives, it could not use these to claim total exemption from taxation.According to Conlon a second volume was published in 1753 entitled 'Suite des Lettres Critiques ....'. Conlon also knows of no other edition but the present one as the first publication of this text.
