The Marquis de Bièvre (1747-1789) was an accomplished courtier and an original character, famous for his skill in handling puns and satirical and deadly repartees in the salons (he wrote this term, Kalembourg, in the Encyclopédie). His play Le séducteur was constantly reissued until after the Empire. He also wrote Vercingétorix, tragedy in one act and one verse, where everything was propitious for wordplay.
Manuscript ownership inscription in pen by G(eorges) Labiche on the half-title page.

First edition. In original wrappers, under contemporary blue paper. Second letter written by Benjamin Constant addressed to the lawyer at the court of cassation Odillon Barrot, in which the author once again defends the accused, condemned to death not on evidence but on rumors and prejudices. « Je montrerai tout à l'heure que de tous ceux sur qui le soupçon pouvait planer, Regnault était celui qu'il devait le moins atteindre. » (I will show presently that of all those on whom suspicion could fall, Regnault was the one it should least have reached.) Constant reviews all the facts of the trial, examines and confronts them, and dismantles the prosecution. The account is most interesting.
