Following the convocation of the Estates-General in 1789 and recent events, the author expresses his reflections on the future of the people, the clergy, the king, the nobility... In the preamble, Bernardin de Saint Pierre expresses doubt regarding the decisions of the National Assembly, which alone cannot make just decisions for the people. His political reflection revolves around a balance of powers.

Statement of third edition, the original being from 1817.
Illustrated with 24 plates depicting blind people engaged in manual work. In original wrappers, under its contemporary pink paper. Lacks to both lower corners. Scattered foxing. The author was in charge of the institute for young blind people in Paris. He provides, in this important work, precise and technical means of instructing the blind and educating them in manual work, reading and music, with the aid of other senses. But above all the book allows for a reconsideration of the status of blind people and social reintegration of individuals previously marginalized by their disability.
