MAZARINADES] - . . , c. 50 booklets, bound in a slipcase or with a paper cover. Triolets de Saint-Germain. (S. 1.), 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 3855. Undoubtedly the finest, though not the rarest. The collective title under which they are grouped is merely a whim or a ploy on the part of the printer; for they were neither written in Saint-Germain nor for Saint-Germain. There are some directed against the Marshal of Guiche and against the Count of Maure, against the Duke of Elbeuf and against the Marshal of La Meilleraye. - The True (les) Reproaches Made (sic) to Jules Mazarin by a Minister of State. Paris, François Noël, 1649, 4 pages. MOREAU 3978. - The unvarnished truth. (Vol. 1, undated), 7 pages. MOREAU 4003. - Letters from His Grace the Duke of Orléans and His Lordship the Prince to the Members of Parliament. Paris, Edme Pépingué, 1648, 4 pages. MOREAU 2270. Dated at Ruel, 23 September 1648. There is an edition alongside the copy, etc., from 1649, comprising four pages. These are found in the Memoirs of Madame de Motteville, page 207, Michaud collection. - Manifesto of the good Frenchmen against Jules Mazarin, disturber of the public peace, enemy of the King and of his State, exhorting all good Frenchmen to (sic) follow and protect those who have no other aim (than) to restore the King to his customary authority, through the resolution of three points, namely service to the King, the public good and freedom from tyranny. (S. 1.), 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2384. It also appeared under the title ‘Manifesto to the Members of Parliament, etc.’ - Manifesto of the King of Great Britain to his subjects in the Kingdom of England. Paris, François Preuveray, 1649, 8 pages. MOREAU 2394. Rare. Dated at Elizabeth Castle, Jersey, 23 October 1649. - The Minister of State, Roasted. Ridendo dicere verum quid vetat? Alongside the copy printed in Paris, 1649, 16 pages. MOREAU 2470. Signed D. B. A cheerful, witty and well-written pamphlet, which Naudė ranks fourth amongst burlesque plays (page 283 of the *Mascurat*); however, the author dwells too long on this idea. - The Motives for Cardinal Mazarin’s Tyranny. Paris, Arnould Cottinet, 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 2504. - First Counter-refutation of the Reply to the Banner of Themis, with judgement. (S. 1.), 1649, 15 pages. MOREAU 94. This play is the fourth in a very heated polemic that had broken out for and against Parliament shortly before the Peace of Ruel. The others are, in chronological order: The True Banner of Themis, etc., the Reply to the Banner of Themis, the Refutation of the Reply, etc., Philothémis or Counter-Banner of Parliament. This name could be François Fauchère; but who is François Fauchère? - An ‘Agréable récit’ of what took place at the last barricades in Paris, described in burlesque verse. Puris, Nicolas Bessin, 1649, 23 pages. MOREAU 56. The text presents *L’Agréable récit des barricades*, a burlesque play about the Fronde considered witty and often compared to Scarron. It describes its various editions, published by Nicolas Bessin, and highlights their numerous errors and variations, the third being the most complete. The author also mentions a possible attribution to Verderonne, whilst pointing out that the text criticises the Frondeurs rather than the court. - Ruling of the Court of Parliament, the assembled chambers, 27 September 1648. Paris, by the King’s official printers and booksellers, 1648, 4 pages. MOREAU 207. Concerning the city’s policing and the transport of provisions. There is an edition by Michel Mettayer, 4 pages. - Articles granted to Ruel for the peace. (S. 1.), 1649, 7 pages. MOREAU 401. - Catalogue of supporters, together with their genealogies, against whom action may and must be taken to secure contributions towards the expenses of the present war. MOREAU 647. Of these two reprints, one has 17 pages, the other 20. In 1651, the Catalogue was published once more with additions; but the title of the original edition was reinstated. Finally, a last edition appeared in 1652, under the title *General List of all the Mazarins, etc.* - *Conversation* between Cardinal Mazarin and the journalist. Accompanied by the copy printed in Brussels, 1649, 39 pages. MOREAU 742. I do not know why, on the second title page, it states: ‘Sent from Brussels, 7 May last’. What is certain is that, at the time to which the Conversation refers, peace had not yet been made. Here is the proof: Renaudot says to the Cardinal: ‘I have my children in Paris… who produce the Gazette (the Courrier François) for Parliament.’ A curious and witty pamphlet. It responds primarily to the piece – untitled and undated – which begins with the words: ‘The King ordered Parliament to leave Paris, etc.’ Copies can be found bearing the title *Secret Conference*, and where the words ‘Sent from Brussels, etc.’ appear on the first title page. - Declaration by the King, to put an end to the unrest and restore peace and tranquillity to his kingdom, verified in Parliament on 1 April 1649. Paris, by the King’s official printers and booksellers, 1649, 16 pages. MOREAU 944. There is an edition from Rouen by David du Petit-Val and Jean Viret, 1649, 12 pages. The Declaration is included in the Journal of Parliament, in the *History of the Time* and in the *History of the Fronde* by M. de Saint-Aulaire, as supporting documents.
