His tales were also appreciated, including Fleur d'épine and Le bélier.

    Essential memoirs for understanding the Empire according to Tulard. Mollien was Minister of the Treasury from the Consulate to the end of the Empire. His memoirs are particularly concerned with details and precision. In the preface, Mollien admits his preference for Adam Smith's school over his own (Mollien spent 5 years in England studying finance after being dismissed and imprisoned during the Terror). He notably created the Court of Auditors. The work begins with an analysis of France's financial situation under Louis XVI, up to Bonaparte's rise. The tax system was consolidated under Napoleon, notably as consequences of the Empire's multiple wars. The memoirs contain numerous letters between the minister and his sovereign. The author thus presents an unprecedented economic and financial portrait of France under the Empire.

    "Woman writer, salonnière and friend of philosophers and famous writers in the 18th century, Louise d'Épinay is the author of Memoirs whose originality is situated on two levels: from the point of view of content first, because it is a history of her family and the literary events of the century, a history however 'self-reflective' and filled with her own feelings and reflections; then, from the point of view of form, since it involves a singular combination of letters, memories and first-person diary pages and short third-person narratives." Sanda Nemeth-Badescu, Dalhousie French Studies, 2005. The famous muse of the late 18th century was indeed a friend of Rousseau, Grimm, Diderot, Voltaire, etc, and her memoirs interspersed with correspondence best illustrate the world of letters of this late 18th century.

    Jean PASSERAT

    Le Premier Livre des poemes de Jean Passerat

    Par la veuve Mamert Patisson|à Paris 1602|9.50 x 14.80 cm|relié
    Edition with some parts in first edition, the main part of which appeared in 1597, but which contains for the first time Le Fresne, L'Espérance, La Divinité des procès, Sur un anneau, Je pensais que vertu, La Femme et le Procès, Ce Petit Dieu colère, On demande en vain; that is 7 new poems (only 17 had appeared in 1597).

Spine lightened. Light rubbing to corners, joints and headcaps. The copy appears, judging by the handmade paper of the pastedowns, to have been rebound.
    This is the last book published during the author's lifetime and revised by his hand, the latter having died in 1602, at the age of 68. Although he was a very enlightened humanist and a profound scholar, friend to many poets (Muret, Ronsard, Baïf...), he is the author of light and particularly witty poetry, without affectation, nourished by Antiquity, where wordplay and rhymes embellish the poems. Professor of eloquence and Belles-Lettres, Passerat would publish very little during his lifetime, yet he was highly appreciated
