First edition of these two pamphlets. Rare. Stitched without covers, under glassine paper. One gathering detached in the first pamphlet. The Observations are a defense of the Count of Saint-Priest, who in 1789 was the first Minister of the Interior, against the calumnious attacks of Mirabeau. Saint-Priest would resign to the king in 1790, following Necker. Le Songe d'un anglais was written in the aftermath of the indictment of Louis XVI, imprisoned for 4 months. In his dream, the author attributes to the British sovereign words of indignation and the acts he would implement against France.
