"HISTOIRE DU GOUVERNEMENT FRANCOIS, DEPUIS L'ASSEMBLEE DES NOTABLES, TENUE LE 22 FEVRIER 1787, JUSQU'A LA FIN DE DECEMBRE DE LA MEME ANNEE". 1788, Londres. 1 volume in-8° (213x135 mm) (dimensions pp. 213x135 mm) XIV pp. (faux-titre, titre et préface), (1) f. (errata), 294 pp., (1) f. b. (a8, A-S8, T4) Couverture d'attente de papier bleu-gris de l'époque. Edition Originale, rare. Petits manques de papier au dos. Superbe exemplaire à toutes marges, non rogné et à feuillets non coupés, tel que paru dans sa couverture d'attente d'origine. Important texte sur l'état des finances de la France à la veille de la Révolution, sur les mesures proposées par Calonne et avec la querelle de celui-ci et de Necker, son prédécesseur au ministère. "Le renvoi de M. de Calonne fut généralement applaudi, & parut indispensable pour rétablir le crédit. Mais le Gouvernement n'aurait-il pas ramené la confiance d'une manière plus sûre peut-être, si après avoir résisté jusqu'alors aux efforts de l'intrigue & de l'opinion, il avait soutenu le Ministre...". "... lui avoient inspiré le courage de former un système, par lequel les bénéfices de la Ferme générale & du fisc étaient supprimés au profit du commerce & de l'industrie, & les biens de la Noblesse & du Clergé dépouillés de leur exemptions, pour supporter, comme les autres, les charges de l'Etat... Puisqu'il avait eu le courage de le proposer il est à présumer qu'il aurait eu celui de le mettre à exécution. Les Parlemens étonnés de la résolution du Gouvernement, après quelques clameurs impuissantes auraient fini par céder, pour ne pas faire accroire au Peuple, qu'ils combattaient que pour leurs exemptions & leurs privilèges. Le Gouvernement se fit donc un tort irréparable en montrant de la faiblesse, & en cédant à l'opinion qu'il aurait dû braver, parce que c'est la fortifier que de la craindre".

1836Best.-Nr. 9235Annapolis MD: William M'Neir 1836. Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 77 3 pp. First edition. In contemporary plain wrappers. Wrappers are detached and chipped; contents are generally foxed; small and early institutional stamp in the bottom margin of one page deep in the pamphlet; minor crease throughout the pamphlet from a vertical fold; dog-eared pages. Quite a presentable copy of a scarce publication on the Baltimore Bank Riots of 1835 which grew out of the failure of the Bank of Maryland. There was a belief that its impending bankruptcy was anticipated by its officers leading to civil unrest. The issues at trial were whether Baltimore officials had reacted appropriately and adequately when unrest began and rioting actually broke out. This pamphlet gives numerous depositions as to events in the city during this extended period of civil violence. American Imprints identifies another issue of this with slight differences to the title page that was issued the same year. Despite there being two issues it remains remarkably rare in commerce. Henkels offered it in 1915; beyond this there are no other auctions or offerings noted by the usual sources. OCLC locates barely a dozen copies of both issues together. American Imprints 38812.

Acts of the General Assembly of Virginia for 1852 documents slave-state governance in antebellum Virginia providing evidence of the legal system through which racial control fiscal administration corporate authorization and transportation development operated before the Civil War. The statute titled "An Act to suppress Gambling by Negroes and white persons together" identifies interracial association as a matter of state regulation showing how Virginia law extended racial discipline beyond labor and movement into informal social contact. The volume supports research into African American legal history slavery-era governance Southern economic development and the relationship between racial restriction and state-directed modernization. Richmond: William F. Ritchie Public Printer 1852. First edition. 8vo. Half legal calf over marbled boards with spine label; 3 4-403 pages including index. The volume compiles the year's legislative acts including statutes on taxation fiscal policy corporate charters navigation companies steamship enterprises transportation infrastructure and social regulation.

A substantial antebellum Virginia legal volume linking the mechanics of state government to the racial and economic priorities of a slaveholding society. unknown
