Fromm 16009. ADB VIII, 578 - First German edition and rare early work by Gentz. - "Mallet du Pan was one of the strangest of these preachers in the desert. Laughed at by the philosophers, detested by the statesmen of the day, understood by few, and fruitful only for a few, he saw in these very decrees the ruin of France, the approaching mob tyranny, the destruction of all property and all civil order, and the scenes of blood without end" (introduction by Gentz) at a time when Europe was bowing its knees before the decrees of the first popular deputies. - Fleckig, n.d.
