Description
[REYMOND (l'abbé Henri)]. Du Droit des pauvres. Genève, Pellet, 1781. In-8, marbled basane, cold fillet, ornate spine, red title page, red edges (contemporary binding). First edition (INED, n°3799). Abbé Reymond, parish priest of Saint-Georges de Vienne and bishop of Dijon, who rallied to the Revolution, here defends the poor by asserting their rights to part of the tithe and criticizing the excessive profits of the high clergy. The work contains observations on ways to reduce begging, a Mémoire pour les curés de la province du Dauphiné (pp. 201-312) and a Requête présenté au Roi par les curés du Dauphiné au sujet du prix des grains. A pleasant copy. One corner split and two jaws slightly cracked.
