In-12, broché, couverture de papier gris ancien de livraison, 61 p. Edition originale de ce document relatif au procès à l'attentat perpétré par Damiens contre Louis XV et à la question de sa responsabilité. Savant champenois, biographe, collaborateur de l'Encyclopédie, historien et avocat, l'auteur Pierre-Jean Grosley (1718-1785) était attaché à sa ville de Troyes, à ses traditions gallicanes et de fronde janséniste. Il développe la thèse que Damiens, simple valet, très médiocre intellectuellement, ne pouvait pas avoir, par lui-même, des mobiles politiques et qu'il ne fut que l'instrument d'une vaste conspiration. Il cherche à écarter tous soupçons qui pourraient peser sur les milieux parlementaires pour charger les jésuites dont il récapitule le rôle dans les différents régicides. L'auteur laisse planer le soupçon du manque de partialité des magistrats instructeurs du procès, étant donné leur proximité supposée avec les jésuites. L'auteur arriva second au concours de l’Académie de Dijon de 1750 que remporta Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Il a collaboré aux volumesIV et XIV de l’Encyclopédie Diderot-D’Alembert. Le pamphlet fut condamné au feu par arrêt de la cour du 30 mars 1757. (Conlon, Siècle des Lumières, 57:817). Bon exemplaire, frais, bien conservé.

Dupin (n° 1381) donne les informations suivantes :"E. fut d’abord avocat au parlement de Grenoble, ensuite avocat général et l’un des présidents du même parlement ; après cela premier président du sénat de Chambéry. Il mourut en 1636". Dans cette dernière édition publiée de son vivant figure un curieux "avertissement au lecteur" dans lequel il accuse de contrefaçon la Rocheflavin dont le célèbre ouvrage "les treize livres du parlement de France" aurait largement reproduit son recueil. Il est vrai que celui-ci est d’une particulière qualité dans la mesure où il contient un recueil très substantiel d’arrêts bien expliqués (dans les arrêts remarquables on citera ceux sur les libertés de la ville de Grenoble, sur des questions d’avortement, sur le fait qu’un "condamné aux galères ne purge l’accusation par la torture soutenue…"). Mais il faut également souligner l’important recueil de plaidoyers (sur la présentation des docteurs ès droit pour être reçus en parlement, si la mort civile par la condamnation aux galères a pareil effet que la mort naturelle, sur un trésor trouvé, si le contrat de maintenance d’une horloge est rendu caduc par le fait que l’horloge a été cassée et rompue "par le désordre des guerres", si les gageurs sont valables…).

1963ref. 1059421963/1965. Tutti i quotidiani sono in ottimo stato di conservazione nella loro piega originale del mezzo. Di ogni numero è stato conservato il foglio o i fogli interi inerenti le notizie che giorno dopo giorno venivano riportate sul processo sui vari protagonisti sui testimoni e sui più diversi pareri di esperti. Oggi si parlerebbe di femminicidio allora era più l'aspetto "peccaminoso" che faceva presa sui lettori: schiere di amanti sfilarono davanti al Pubblico Ministero al giudice ai giurati a principi del Foro che accettarono la difesa. La vita di Carlo Nigrisoli i suoi atteggiamenti i suoi interventi o peggio i suoi mancati interventi portarono quasi immediatamente il pubblico a schierarsi verso un atteggiamento colpevolista; ma interessante notare anche la svolta presa da questo processo verso un campo abbastanza nuovo per il periodo: le prove scientifiche addirittura atomiche. Ne esce da tutto un desolante quadro di una famiglia distrutta fra tradimenti superficilità paure misteri e particolarmente ne esce la solitudine di una donna che giorno dopo giorno ha visto svanire la fiaba del suo matrimonio e forse si è abbandonata quasi ad un "inevitabile" destino cattivo e dall'altra parte di un uomo certamente non probo ma possibile mai che possa essere così irrazionale che dopo aver deciso di uccidere la moglie lasci innumerevoli tracce del suo delitto tanto da essere incriminato e condannato Forse solo una cosa importante allontana questo delitto dai tanti che oggi ci vengono mostrati quasi quotidianamente: il rispetto che ebbero i nonni i giudici gli amici per i bambini di Ombretta stringendo attorno a loro una impenetrabile cortina di difesa.

1925ref. List38112New York City: United Press International 1925. Photograph measuring 8 x 9 ¾ inches. With caption recto; manuscript caption and UPI and "Not For Publication" stamps verso. Excellent. A photograph of John Scopes Clarence Darrow and others during Tennessee's famous "Monkey Trial" in which Scopes was charged with violating the Butler Act which outlawed teaching human evolution in public schools. The case arose when the ACLU put out an advertisement for a teacher willing to violate the Act; community leaders from Dayton Tennessee saw an opportunity both to test the law and to draw attention to their community. New teacher John Scopes agreed to claim to have taught evolution likely falsely as he had not yet taught biology at all. He was represented by Clarence Darrow who was set against the prosecution's William Jennings Bryan-two of the most prominent legal minds of their day. Scopes was found guilty-though the verdict was overturned on a technicality-and the Butler Act stayed Tennessee law until 1967. United Press International unknown
