1820Best.-Nr. 072306Albany NY: J. Buel 1820. Hardcover. Very Good with no dust jacket. Reprinted by the State's appointed printer; each year is paginated individually and begins with an index of vote outcomes. Some toning evident in margins and whatever pattern was originally given the page block edges has worn to an uneven brown; the front endpaper has split along the hinge and there is some residue of a bookplate on the pastedown; the binding remains secure though with a short tear in the legal-yellow cloth along the left front two shallow depressions at the front foreedge wear to the cloth at free and bound corners and noticeable handling prints; decoration at the spine including the red and black leather labels for title and year shows concurrent wear including chipping of leather and flaking of the gilt borders on the leather; nonetheless designed to be sturdy and to maintain its dignity on the shelf in which endeavor it continues to succeed. 932pp A well-kept reprint of the climactic volume in the golden age "Colony of New York" series that preceded the popular multiverse crossover "Constitutional Convention" starring John A. Hancock and Benjamin Franklin Sr. Spoiler alert The letter at the end of March 1776 alludes to events in Boston and taxation problems but later popularizations left out the anger at British welcome of "popery" in Quebec the decline of the three-branch government and the action-packed amendment scenes in which representatives competed to restate portions of the bill with more negative superlatives.; Tall 4to.

5 brochures reliées en un volume in-8, couverture de papier gris d'attente postérieure. 1 - Edition originale. Mirabeau répond aux critiques du comte de Guibert sur son grand ouvrage 'De La Monarchie prussienne" avant même que celui-ci ne soit sorti, "sur la foi périlleuse d'un prospectus": Fréderic II, la tactique et le système militaire prussien. (Martin & Walter, 24446). 2 - Véritable édition originale de premier tirage selon Lumet ('Oeuvres de Mirabeau, Les Écrits', p. 417). "C'est le philosophe moraliste qui apparaît ici. Persuadé que l'agiotage (spéculation), qu'il lie au monopole, est une calamité, Mirabeau en trace un historique, insiste sur ses "résultats sinistres et apporte, en quelque sorte, une théorie de l'agiotage " (INED, n° 3185). 3- Edition originale de ce pamphlet dans lequel Mirabeau critiquait les Parlements alors que le roi et ses ministres étaient en conflit ouvert avec les magistrats. La publication de ce texte, sans nom d'auteur, entama la popularité de Mirabeau. "L'ouvrage apparaissait comme un texte commandé par le pouvoir royal et rédigé par un homme qui attend, en retour, une place pour assurer son quotidien". (Martin & Walter, III, 24624. Barbier, 'Anonymes', IV, 301-302). 4- Edition à la date de l'originale. "Dès la mort du grand Frédéric (17 août 1786), Mirabeau s'offrant en mentor à son successeur, lui adresse [ce] mémoire (…), véritable plan de gouvernement. Le nouveau roi répondit à l'auteur le 20 août 1786. Ce n'est que plusieurs mois après, l'année suivante, que Mirabeau publia sa lettre pour répondre aux critiques" (Henry Aureille). (Martin & Walter, III, 24449). 5- Edition originale, rare, de cet essai composé par Samuel Romilly, traduit par Etienne Dumont et publié par Mirabeau. Bentham aurait aidé Romilly dans son travail. Selon Etienne Dumont dans ses "Souvenirs sur Mirabeau" (éd. 1832, p. 164 et s.): "Romilly avait fait un travail très intéressant (…). Ces 'règlemens' sont le fruit d’une expérience raisonnée, et plus on les examine, plus on les admire (…). Ce petit code indiquait la meilleure manière de poser les questions, de préparer les motions, de les débattre, de recueillir les suffrages, de nommer les comités (…); en un mot, toute la tactique d’une assemblée politique. J’avais traduit cet écrit au commencement des États-Généraux; Mirabeau le présenta et le déposa sur le bureau des communes, lorsqu’il était question de faire un règlement pour l’Assemblée nationale. "Nous ne sommes pas Anglais et nous n’avons pas besoin des Anglais": voilà la réponse qui lui fut faite. On ne donna pas la plus légère attention à cet écrit, qui fut imprimé ; on ne daigna pas s’informer de ce qui se passait dans un corps aussi célèbre que le Parlement britannique (...). Ils aimèrent mieux persister dans le mode de délibération le plus mauvais et le plus dangereux; la séance du 4 août en était la preuve". (Martin & Walter, II, 11905). Quelques petites déchirures sans perte. Quelques auréoles et brunissures, prononcées en fin de volume. Provenances: Stanislas Girardin (1762-1827), avec son ex-libris gravé et Édouard Laboulaye (1811-1883), avec sa signature ex-libris autographe sur le premier titre.
