First editions.

Charles de Calonne (1734-1802) was Necker's successor as finance minister to Louis XVI between 1784 and 1787.
After his resignation, the former minister fell out of favor and faced many attacks on his administration and France's growing deficit. In this book, he explained his defence to the king, facing five charges against the subjects of acquisitions and exchanges, operations in the revision of currencies, funds from the royal treasury provided clandestinely to support the "agiotage" (financial speculative practice), extensions of loans, and abuses of authority and other abuses of authority of all kinds.
The second book, published shortly afterwards, is the sequel in which Calonne provides many in-depth insights.

Le Sept Avril à Besançon.

First edition.
The political banquet was born during the French Revolution. In 1789, in all cities of France, the open-air banquet, in the streets, was a new form of sociability to affirm patriotic enthusiasm and the unity of the Nation. During these civic meals, new liberties were celebrated.

Under the reign of Louis-Philippe, the political banquet was reborn as a means of circumventing the ban on political gatherings imposed by the reactionary government of Minister Guizot.

Fourierists, after the death of Charles Fourier in 1837, adopted this practice and met each year to celebrate his birthday (April 7, 1772) with a banquet. In Paris, in the provinces, and abroad, numerous banquets were thus organized, during which speakers took turns extolling the social theories of their master and proposing many toasts.

In 1847 and 1848, this subversive function of the banquet spread to all political factions and gained momentum. In February 1848, the prefect of police in Paris banned a banquet. Following this ban, a protest demonstration turned into an insurrection within a few days, bringing an end to the July Monarchy.

This account of the Besançon banquet in 1847 includes toasts by Just Muiron: "To the genius of Fourier!", Ledoux: "To the organization of labor!", Renaud: "To the confusion of false wisdom!", Vuillemin: "To all the benefactors of humanity!".

First edition.
At the beginning of the XIXth century, imprisonment gradually imposed itself as a justice penalty whereas previously the prison was mainly a temporary place of confinement before the execution of the real punishment (banishment, torture, execution ... ). Following the Enlightenment (Beccaria) or thinkers like Tocqueville and Bentham, Alauzet then asked the question of the staggering of sentences and the organization of prisons. He also examines the systems of Lucas, Auburn and Faucher.
