First edition.

Regnault here publishes an egalitarian manifesto of great audacity. The tabular presentation is employed for pedagogical purposes with the aim of comparing different types of governments while showing himself very unfavorable to monarchy. The author publishes this indictment under the pretext of making Montesquieu's text accessible to all.
