"This libel was burned by the hand of the executioner: it provoked very lively complaints against the author, who made a kind of disavowal of it, at least as regards publicity and form", Peignot, Dictionnaire des livres condamnés au feu, 321. "This indiscreet revelation of Mirabeau's diplomatic maneuvers, [was] written in a spirit of bitter criticism and in the license of a libel (...) The Emperor Joseph II, the King of Prussia and especially Prince Henri, who was then in Paris, were much maltreated in this production. Louis XVI felt he owed the diplomatic corps some satisfaction, and the libel was condemned by Parliament to be burned by the hangman's hand. Mirabeau's friends have since tried to excuse him: according to them, he only agreed to hand over his manuscript as the only resource that could prevent the bankruptcy of his bookseller Lejay...". Quérard, II, 1158. The work contains some very curious revelations on Freemasonry in the 18th century, particularly in Prussia (Caillet, 7588). Old restored epidermures (Barbier, II, 831).
