Description
BAUDOUIN DE GUEMADEUC] - The Robbed Spy. London, 1782. In-8, VII, 240 pp, contemporary marbled fawn calf, smooth spine grotesquely decorated, hinges slightly rubbed.
LACOMBE 241. INED 38. First edition. Falsely attributed to Mirabeau despite Du Roure (Analecta Biblion II, 464) who believes he recognises the qualities of the great orator. C'est un livre fort piquant plein d'anecdotes et de détails de moeurs utiles à conserver. Anecdotes about Silhouette, ephemeral controller general, the Duke of Choiseul, Cugnot's carriage, Turgot. Chapter XIII contains an economic utopia. Thanks to the manufacture of erzats, men are freed from economic need once and for all. They will be able to devote themselves to the development of human nature.
