rif. 18196No place, 1769. With 1 folding table. 145 (misnumbered 147, pagination jumps from 123 to 126, text complete; 2, (Avis au relieur, blank) pp. 8vo. Contemporary blind paper covers with paper label on spine, very nice copy, entirely unpressed, with very wide margins and uncut. Einaudi 2247; Higgs 4642; Mattioli 334; Leblanc, De Thomas More à Chaptal, contribution bibliographique à l'histoire économique, 290; not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in INED. First edition.There are a few copies which contain a long note on the pages 122-124, which note refers to the session of the Parlement de Paris. In this note, not printed in this copy, which is why the pagination jumps, the author defends the Abbé Baudeau and his work Avis aux honnêtes gens qui veulent bien faire, a work which had become the subject of a request for its prohibition. Copies with this note have consecutive pagination: why this note was apparently withdrawn and no longer printed in later produced copies is unknown, but it does explain the jump in pagination. During the discussion on free trade of grains several 'Parlements' gave their opinions. 'Celui de Dauphiné donnait solennellement, le 26 avril 1769, un Avis qui était une exposition magistrale de la doctrine physiocratique, d'une orthodoxie impeccable. "Ouvrage excellent à tous égards, s'écrie Dupont en l'annonçant aux 'lecteurs patriotes' aux 'bons citoyens'; ouvrage que nos derniers neveux baigneront encore des larmes de leur reconnaissance, comme nous l'avons fait nous-même en le lisant."....... l'Avis fut rendu public. L'impression produite pouvait être si forte que le Parlement de Paris s'arrangea pour faire disparaître la brochure: "Cet ouvrage est devenu bientôt excessivement rare, écrit Bachaumont, parce que le système qu'on propose à Sa Majesté est totalement opposé à ce que les Parlements de Paris et de Rouen ont écrit sur cette matière, et que cette première Compagnie n'a pas trouvé bon qu'on répandit sous ses yeux un écrit si contraire à sa façon de penser.'' Le manifeste du Parlement de Dauphiné n'en émut pas moins l'opinion , et son succès rejaillit sur le parti tout entier' (Weulersse, i, p. 200). In short, the opinion expressed in this text (in favour of free trade, competition, etc.) was quite the opposite of the opinion held by the magistrates, and hence they decided it was not a good idea to have a text circulate that was so opposed to their way of thinking. 'Le Parlement du Dauphiné se fait défenseur de l'Edit de 1764, donc de la liberté du commerce des grains et de la concurrence. Il s'élève contre les entraves et les limitations qui lui sont apportées' (Leblanc, op.cit.) - Extremely rare.

First edition.There are some copies of the first edition (and this is one of those copies), where the pages 122-124 contain a long note, not present in all copies of the first edition, which note refers to the session of the Parlement de Paris.

She is called the "mother of the Capuchins." The House of Waldstein is a Czech noble family that received prominent state and civil positions beginning in the 17th century. It was one of the first among the Bohemian nobility to be promoted to Graf count in 1628 and two years later to the imperial court. Its most famous members include General Albrecht von Wallenstein and statesman Ferdinand Gabriel von Waldstein the patron of Ludwig van Beethoven. The Order of the Capuchin Friars Minor is an Order of friars in the Catholic Church one of the chief offshoots of the Franciscan Order. The Order began in 1520 when Matteo da Bascio an Observant Franciscan friar said he had been inspired by God with the idea of that the manner of life led by the Franciscans at the time was not in keeping with their found St. Francis of Assisi had envisioned. He created the Capuchin Order to return to the primitive way of life solitude and penance as practiced by St. Francis. The name of their order comes from the Cappuccio a hood worn by the Camaldolese monks in gratitude for refuge given by the monks in the initial years of the order. Dr. Johann August Wilhelm Neander 1789-1850 was a German theologian and church historian. Originally born into a Jewish family he changed his name to Neander when he became a Christian in 1806. A German Lutheran he studied with F D. Schleiermacher 1768-1834 in Berlin but soon switched his interest from speculative theology to church history. His General History of the Christian Religion and Church Allgemeine Geschichte der christlichen Religion und Kirche remains the greatest monument of his genius. In this Neander's chief aim was everywhere to understand what was individual in history. In the principal figures of ecclesiastical history he tried to depict the representative tendencies of each age and also the types of the essential tendencies of human nature generally. His guiding principle in dealing both with the history and with the present condition of the church was "that Christianity has room for the various tendencies of human nature and aims at permeating and glorifying them all; that according to the divine plan these various tendencies are to occur successively and simultaneously and to counterbalance each other so that the freedom and variety of the development of the spiritual life ought not to be forced into a single dogmatic form" Otto Pfleiderer. Neander had considerable influence not only in his own church and country but also further afield through the combination of scholarly excellence and personal interest that he achieved in his teaching and writing. Neander believed that church history is not just an academic pursuit but part of the mission and ministry of the church. The Congregation of St. Maur often known as the Maurists were a congregation of French Benedictines established in 1621 and known for their high level of scholarship. The congregation and its members were called after Saint Maurus died 565 a disciple of Saint Benedict credited with introducing the Benedictine rule and life into Gaul. The primary idea of the movement was not the undertaking of literary and historical work but the return to a strict monastic regime and the faithful carrying out of Benedictine life. Their historical and critical school produced a number of works of scholarship which still are of permanent value. The foundations of this school were laid by Dom Tarisse the first superior-general who in 1632 issued instructions to the superiors of the monasteries to train the young monks in the habits of research and of organized work. The output was prodigious coming from a single society. The qualities that have made Maurist work proverbial for learning are its critical tact and its thoroughness. Pope Gregory I Latin: Gregorius I; c. 540 - 12 March 604 commonly known as Saint Gregory the Great was Pope from 3 September 590 to his death in 604. Gregory is well known for his writings which were more prolific than those of any of his predecessors as pope. He is also known as St. Gregory the Dialogist in Eastern Orthodoxy because of his Dialogues. For this reason English translations of Orthodox texts will sometimes list him as Gregory Dialogus. Throughout the Middle Ages he was known as the Father of Christian Worship because of his exceptional efforts in revising the Roman worship of his day. His contributions to the development of the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts still in use in the Eastern Orthodox Church were so significant that he is generally recognized as its de facto author. The Protestant reformer John Calvin admired Gregory and declared in his Institutes that Gregory was the last good pope. He is the patron saint of musicians singers students and teachers. The mainstream form of Western plainchant standardized in the late 9th century was attributed to Pope Gregory I and so took the name of Gregorian chant. Gregory is commonly credited with founding the medieval papacy and so many attribute the beginning of medieval spirituality to him. Gregory is the only Pope between the fifth and the eleventh centuries whose correspondence and writings have survived enough to form a comprehensive corpus. GREGORIUS I MAGNUS 540-604.

Is the relief moderation the price you ask as the best mines are completely uninhabited and desolate Send my fatherly love to my vassals subjects.I'll strive by all means.that they are fruitful.

Also by Royal Proclamation inserted within it is free of tax." Also signed by Manuel Rodriguez 1697 - 1772 -- military leader on the Coahuila-Texas frontier esteemed explorer and one of the greatest Indian fighters from Texas. After the departure of Jacinto de Barrios y Jaurequi in February of 1768 he became brief interim governor and military commandant of the Province. Rare signature as Commandant and Governor of the Province. According to the Texas State Historical Association "It was not until recently that archivists were aware that Rodriguez was a Governor.a fact scarcely noted by historians. Horizontal fold; two holes; smudges in the left margin. Very good- condition. De Croix 1699 - 1786 was the Viceroy of New Spain Mexico who served during the period of Great Turbulence. The sole purpose of his five-year administration 1766 - 1771 was absolute obedience to the king whom he always referred to as "Mi amo." In 1767 he expelled the Jesuits from the colony removing them from their Monasteries and Colleges allowing them to leave with scarcely the clothes on their backs. These measures provoked a rebellion in which the Viceroy dealt severely with the rebels proclaiming censorship of literary and scientific publications 1768 and hanging the leaders of the uprising. No sooner had opposition been eliminated de Croix turned his attention toward the war-seeking Apache and Comanche Indian tribes financing and authorizing an expedition led by Captain de Galvez into Nueva Vizcaya whereby the Indians were soundly defeated. In March 1768 following the slow-downs boycotts and disturbances in the mines of Guanajuato and Pachuca over the low wages paid to the miners de Croix stunned the Colony by siding with the miners and forcing the mine owners to agree to an increase in wages. His actions were deemed "one of the most significant social reforms in the New World" at that time. unknown
