GILBERT DE VOISINS (Pierre): Mémoires sur les moyens de donner aux protestans un état civil en France. Composed by order of King Louis XV. S.l., 1787. One volume. 12.5 by 19.5 cm. (4)-143 pages. Contemporary full calf, ornate smooth spine, garnet-red title page. Upper headband frayed, small, non-severe epidermis on 2nd board, otherwise very good condition (foxing on last 3 leaves). An autograph letter of thanks (wishes) from the grandson, editor of the memoir, is enclosed. First edition. Conlon 87: 1934; J. Poujol, Aux sources de l'Edit de 1787, une étude bibliographique. Société d'histoire du protestantisme; I.N.E.D. n° 2030. Very important memoir commissioned by Louis XV, proposing to give Protestants civil status, twenty years before the Edict of Toleration. Pierre Gilbert de Voisins (1684-1769), avocat général at the Parlement de Paris and Conseiller d'Etat, was an exemplary practitioner and a magistrate loyal to the King. "To find a middle way which, while maintaining the public ban on the Reformed religion, would grant Protestants both freedom of conscience and the means to benefit from civil status. This project concerns the private and domestic acts of their religion, the baptism and education of their children, and their marriage." (I.N.E.D.). 3. Les Voeux d'un Patriote. Amsterdam, 1788. One volume. 12 by 19.5 cm. 16-282 pages. Modern bradel boards. False title missing. Very good condition. 9th edition (E.O.: 1689). Kappler, Biblio. de Jurieu p. 427; Bourgeois et André, S.H.F. 3084. Work falsely attributed to Jurieu. Probably by Michel Le Vassor. "Famous pamphlet attributed to Jurieu or, better, to the historian Michel Levassor. It consists of fifteen memoirs, composed between August 10, 1689 and September 15, 1690. The first three deal with the oppression and tyranny under which all the orders of France groan, and the misery to which they are reduced by despotism. The next two outline how the French court has established its absolute power and abuses. Then, in memoirs 6-8, the author argues that the crown was elective and the Salic law worthless, that the Estates General are the repositories of power and superior to the king, and that the Parlement was created to represent these Estates and put a brake on the court. Memoirs 9 and 10 speak of the grand council, the mayors of the palace, the constable, the peers, dukes, counts, etc., who were once independent and are now slaves. The author shows (no. 11) that France initially had neither regulated troops nor taxes, and finally examines at length (nos. 12 to 15) how the monarchy could be restored to its former state. All in all, this is an indictment of absolutism, to which the writer contrasts the rights of the people. Published in 1788....

Marcus Salvius Otho (32-69 A.D.) was one of the four Roman emperors of the quadruple imperial year 69.
