Honoré Gabriel Riquetti Comte de MIRABEAU

Des Lettres de cachet et des Prisons d'état. Ouvrage posthume, composé en 1778

S.n., à Hambourg 1782, 2 parties en un Vol. fort in-8 (12x20cm), xiv (2) 366pp. ; (2) 237pp., relié.


First Edition. The second part is considered rare, since he was asked to enter the Prussian manuscript and burn copies, yet we see that the second part is present in many copies.
Full sheepskin ice blonde and marbled time. Back tooled raised. Part of title in red morocco. Lack head at the lower jaw. Narrow slit in the upper jaw tail. 3 corners bumped. Good copy.
The work, written during and after the arrest and imprisonment of Mirabeau in Vincennes, is a plea and an indictment against arbitrary justice and power. "I undertake to speak arbitrary imprisonment and state prisons. "We find in the book many historical comments and an important documentation of arbitrary power and the judicial year. In the second part deals more closely Mirabeau of prison life and prison. Mirabeau also focuses on the English constitution and goes to show that our own history condemns the use of lettres de cachet, as it is the only kings representatives of the people. Rich literature on prisons and incarceration.
