Scarce first edition of this atlas of the second excursion to Russia, financed by Anatole de Demidoff and sought after for its beautiful lithographs of the greatest Russian cities and their famous landmarks.

More commonly found is the atlas of the first excursion of 1837, which accompanies the book "Voyage dans la Russie méridionale et la Crimée par la Hongrie, la Valachie et la Moldavie exécutée en 1837."

The second expedition, executed in 1839, departed from Le Havre and passed through Hamburg, Lubeck, Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslaw, and Kasan.

The views published in the present second album are the most famous, since they included beautiful lithographs of the largest Russian towns and their celebrated places, such as the Winter Palace and the Alexandrine column in St. Petersburg, the banks of the Volga in Nizhniy-Novgorod, the Kremlins of Kasan and Moscow.

Remarques sur le Gouvernement du royaume durant les trois règnes de Henri IV, de Louis XIII, de Louis XIV. 

s.l., s.n., [v. 1750].
More Details >
500 €

Handwritten copy of a work published anonymously by Pierre Marteau in 1688. Barbier attributes the book to Gratien de Courtilz but adds: "Dubious".

The content is rather discourteous towards the monarchs, of whom inglorious episodes are recounted: the lack of merit of Louis XIII (Richelieu having governed for him), Louis XIV preferring the beds of his mistresses to the battlefields... This doubtless explains why handwritten copies were able to circulate under the cloak of the laughers. In fact, two other similar handwritten copies can be found in public libraries.

What remains is a very pretty manuscript, in a perfectly legible late 17th century handwriting.

In this work, the author makes a biting satire of the government, religion and morals of the Spanish. King Charles III complained to the French government and threatened to close the entrance to his kingdom to all French people. Parliament ordered, in February 1786, that a copy of "Voyage en Espagne" would be delivered to the flames by the hand of the executioner. This auto-da-fé delighted de Langle who had written: "My work will surely be reduced to ashes: so much the better! (...) It brings good luck; the public likes burnt works.".

Jacques Dourdin is the first to import the method of opinion polls in France. The method was popularized during the thirties in the United States by Doctor Gallup.
The French firm Jacques Dourdin proposed to provide industrialists and traders with all the information they wanted, thanks to the method of surveys by sample.
He thus delivers the first rational studies of the French market.
This pamphlet presents a survey on the need and acceptance of artificial textile fibers (rayon and fibranne) by the French market.
