Smaller brown spots are present elsewhere. The Seal of the State of Maine is in the upper right hand corner. On the reverse side of the document is the signature of Lieut. Elisha Morton. In addition on the reverse side of the document is that day's equivalent of an appearance before a notary public and taking the oaths required by the Constitution of this State. This document has been in my possession since the 1940's. It was acquired from Forrest L. Morton who had no children to pass it on to. About 15 or so years ago this document was taken to a book-binder preserver and a fee of around $100.00 was paid to further preserve the paper document. It would need to be shipped in a round tubed container. I do not at this time have the ability to put out pictures. If one has serious interest in purchasing but has further questions please call me on my phone listed on my Abe webpage. State of Maine paperback

1784réf. 46404421À Dublin, de l’Imprimerie de Wilson, et se trouve à Paris, chez les libraires qui vendent des nouveautés, 1784 ; in-8, broché, couverture bleue muette, non rogné. (brochage de l’époque) VIII pp., 216 pp.Une des éditions à la date de l’originale. Sur le titre, ce roman est attribué à Choderlos de Laclos. Le véritable auteur est le marquis de Luchet (Saintes 1740 - Paris 1792). D’abord officier de cavalerie, il quitte l’armée pour faire des affaires qui échouent et l’obligeront à se réfugier à Lausanne pour fuir ses créanciers. Grâce à Voltaire il devint bibliothécaire du landgrave de Hesse. En 1786, il passa au service du prince Henri de Prusse et ne revint en France qu’en 1788. Luchet a beaucoup produit. Ses livres qui se voulaient des mémoires de son temps étaient en réalité des romans satiriques. Drujon. Les livres à clefs II, 965 donne les clefs de celui-ci. On y trouve la ctesse et le cte de La Noue, le mis de Culan, Melle Arnould, Melle Dubois la première femme de Beaumarchais, le Mis de Villette, Beaumarchais, Linguet, Fréron, Boufflers, Vergennes... Lorsqu’on connaît cette clef, le roman devient assez piquant. “Les mémoires que nous publions aujourd’hui sont une fiction, si l’on veut : il n’y a cependant pas un fait dont le fonds ne soit vrai, pas un personnage qui n’existe ou n’ait existé. Tout ce que j’ai supprimé, c’est le merveilleux ; ce qui se passe est beaucoup plus incroyable que ce qu’on invente.”Mylne Martin 84,39. - Exemplaire à toutes marges, bel état intérieur, le brochage est un peu défraîchi.

LELEUX, O. PENGUILLY et de T. JOHANNOT, appendice, table des matières, EX-LIBRIS en vert et jaune de l'historien François FURET collé sur la première garde ainsi que son cachet violet sur la première blance, Pierre-Michel-François Chevalier dit « Pitre-Chevalier » est un auteur, historien et journaliste français né le 16 novembre 1812 à Paimbœuf (Loire-Inférieure) et mort à Paris le 15 juin 1863. Il a été rédacteur en chef du Figaro et directeur du Musée des familles. Comme le titre l'indique bien, ce livre est l'histoire de cette partie de la France restée loyaliste et combattant la Révolution et l'Empire. Très bon document avec de très nombreuses références pour bien comprendre cette période dans ces régions de l'Ouest. Ce livre faisait partie de la bibliothèque personnelle de François Furet, avec son ex-libris. François Furet, né le 27 mars 1927 à Paris, mort à Figeac le 12 juillet 1997, est un historien français, spécialiste de la Révolution française et de son héritage idéologique. Il appartenait à une génération d'intellectuels cherchant dans les faits les raisons de la faillite du projet marxiste. Pas courant en Edition Originale. Très bon état de la reliure; comme dans tous les exemplaires présence de rousseurs mais épargnant des planches couleurs.
