GOLDSMITHS' 12183. CARPENTER, Economics Bestsellers XXVIII, n°3. STOURM 124. Edition number 3 in Carpenter's list, perhaps the greatest publishing success for a work of this kind, followed by multiple editions. It provoked much jealousy and the disgrace of the Minister. The report is divided into three parts. The first is devoted to the state of finances, public credit, anticipations, accounting and the discount office; the second to donations, croups and pensions, the organisation of receivers, and the expenses of the king's household; the third to the various types of taxes, vingtièmes, tailles, capitation, gabelles, aides, contrôles, traites, etc., followed by various tables of revenue and expenditure. This is followed by various tables of receipts and expenditure of the royal treasury and two tinted maps of drafts and gabelles. In it, Necker formulated, no doubt in reverential terms, the fundamental criticism of the existing system, along with the beginnings of the renovation projects that the Revolution seized upon''.
