Les longues journées sur les bateaux lui donnent du temps pour rédiger des histoires largement inspirées de la première guerre mondiale, dont certaines peuvent être considérées comme de lanticipation avant lheure.Il démissionne de larmée pour entrer dans la garde Indochinoise. Eduqué par un maître du Taoïsme chinois en Asie, il est initié aux secrets de cette philosophie et prend le pseudonyme de MATGIOI ( lil de jour ) pour tenter de diffuser cet enseignement en France.Les deux séries présentées ici sont parues à la Baudinière entre 1934 et 1936: La guerre prochaine et lHéroïque aventure traitent aussi en fond des profonds bouleversements politiques suscités par la Japon à partir de 1930, et du péril rouge du communisme chinois."Parfois désordonnée voire chaotique, l'oeuvre d'Albert de Pouvourville présente un intérêt majeur pour la connaissance du Tonkin entre 1880 et 1910 puisqu'elle relate la conquête française vue du côté des mandarins indochinois et des Pavillons Noirs ou vécue par les plus modestes des soldats et agents français et indigènes."

1710ref. 135220London: Printed and sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster 1710. A small group comprising Clement's pamphlet supporting the establishment of a non-partisan government a response to Clement claiming to be the second part of his pamphlet the anonymous counterblast Faults in the Fault-Finder and Clement's defence of his treatise in A Vindication of the Faults on Both Sides. In the past Faults on Both Sides has been attributed to Robert Harley but it is generally accepted that Simon Clement c.1654-c.1730 was the author. However it does seem that Harley had some role in its publication and it can be seen as election propaganda for the 1710 election with Harley being the implicit non-partisan choice. Joseph Trapp published a response arguing that the pamphlet was a conspiracy by the Whigs who saw that their dominance was ending and were consequently urging for a coalition government to keep their power which Clement responded to in A Vindication. At any rate the number of editions which the pamphlet and its responses ran to shows the significance of the publication on the contemporary political scene. The four pamphlets comprise: i CLEMENT Simon. Faults on Both Sides. the second edition. ESTC T35447. ii Anonymous at times catalogued under Clement but listed by ESTC as an answer to him. Faults on both sides: Part the Second. Or an essay upon The Original Cause Progress and Mischievous Consequences of the Factions in the Church.

1734ref. 3006519Cologne: Jaques Kainkus 1734. Slight wear to top and tail of spine otherwise fine. Duodecimo frontispiece title-page printed in black and red; contemporary sprinkled calf spine gilt in compartments. A handsome copy of the third edition Rosenberg edition 'C' with frontispiece portrait of Massé and title-page vignette of Mercury. Friederich comments that the importance of mining and irrigation to the Australians makes it the only work 'to foreshadow what has actually come to pass in modern Australia'. Tyssot de Patot was a well-known Huguenot free-thinker whose writings were a continual source of scandal: Voltaire thought that he had 'carried the torch of discord into their homeland'. Certainly the antagonistically anti-religious stance of this novel created much ill-feeling. Atkinson comments that because 'open criticism of the Bible is so frequent' he will have to content himself with listing just a few of the more extreme examples. Massé shipwrecks on the Southern continent at '44 South latitude almost at the point where Kerguelen Island will be found to be on modern maps' Atkinson. Whilst most of the survivors of the wreck are content to maintain a large presence on the coast Massé and his friend Moret travel inland where they settle in an enormous and well-organised utopia 'a plentiful fruitful country a land of blessing and peace . where human blood is sacred and safe from the rage and tyranny of great men'. They become so enamoured of their Australian hosts that they abjure their faith and their European heritage and it is only when Moret is betrayed by his liaison with a treacherous queen that they reluctantly flee escaping rather fortuitously by a subterranean river which deposits them close by the original settlement. They remain besieged in the camp for another twelve years before they are finally picked up by a Portuguese ship. Rosenberg argues for a date of around 1734 for this edition to coincide with the renewed interest in Tyssot's work at the time he cites 1733 English and 1737 German editions. His theory is that this renewal of interest 'arose because it was confused with Mandeville's Fable of the Bees which by 1730 had achieved considerable notoriety'. . Provenance: Frédéric Lachèvre 1855-1943 writer and bibliographer with his romantic bookplate and armorial gilt stamp on front board. Oddly enough the National Library of Australia has Lachèvre's copy of a later edition of this work Special Colelctions SR 913. Jaques Kainkus unknown

He was a prolific author; several of his works were standard texts. Verhandelinghe van Handt-Opleggen ende Besetten is a comprehensive treatise on arrest and seizure of property. First published in Latin in 1654 as De Iure Sistendi it went through several Latin editions into the seventeenth century and was one of the titles included in the Tractatus Universi Juris 1584-1586 the multi-volume anthology of key contemporary legal works edited by Francesco Ziletti under the patronage of Pope Gregory XIII. The translation edited by Van Leeuwen possibly the most widely read Dutch jurist of the late-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries expanded its audience. First published in 1653 it went through seven subsequent editions the last one in 1784. The striking title page in the 1659 edition features images of officials executing a seizure warrant flanked by Prudence and Lady Justice and a trial scene. The Van Leeuwen editions are scarce.
