First edition? We have found no trace of this work in electronic catalogues in France and the United Kingdom. Original pamphlet in pink paper wrappers. History of Louis Philippe Joseph d'Orléans from a slanderous and denunciatory perspective. The author presents and depicts the man as a skillful and unscrupulous hypocrite. As epigraph, a quotation from Cicero: « Je ne crois pas qu'il ait jamais existé sur terre un pareil monstre. » (I do not believe that such a monster has ever existed on earth.) The author appears to be a witness to the Revolution, as numerous revolutionary scenes are described from his viewpoint.
