Description

[MIRABEAU (Victor Riqueti, marquis de). Théorie de l'impot. sl, sn, 1760. In-12 of viii-520 pp. Havana calf, ornate spine, burgundy title page, red pages (contemporary binding). Joints partly split, headbands worn, corners worn. Published in the year of the original in-4. The Marquis de Mirabeau, a recent convert to physiocracy, develops the principles of the new school of François Quesnay (physician to Madame de Pompadour). His virulent criticism of oppressive taxation and the financial system of the fermiers généraux regime, among others, led to his imprisonment for five days in the Château de Vincennes prison, a sentence which, thanks to the intervention of Quesnay and La Pompadour, was transformed into a two-month exile at Le Bignon. Handwritten inscription in blue ink opposite the title "Philippus Naldius in Urbe temporis [...]". Minor spotting, paper slightly browned in places, one marginal tear missing but without loss of text on one leaf. Ex-libris JM.
