Des principes des négociations, pour servir d'introduction au droit public de l'Europe, fondés sur les traités. 

La Haye, s.n., 1757.
More Details >
750 €

First edition.
Gabriel Bonnot de Mably was Condillac's brother, although today less known than his parent, his innovative work of political philosophy places him among the precursors of what will become communism. In particular, he proposed to limit land ownership rights.
As a fine geopolitical analyst, he published his Treaty of Negotiations at the start of the Seven Years' War, after the overthrow of the alliance which will set Europe (and the world) on fire.

"His concepts of power, of world legal order, of moralizing the relations between people, peoples and states, undoubtedly still have a lot to teach us." Florence Gauthier, Extract from the preface for the reissue of the text in 2003

Our copy bearing the arms of Emmanuel Dieudonné de Hautefort (1700-1777), a diplomat who was french ambassador to Vienna from 1749 to 1752 and who was therefore at the heart of European diplomacy in this troubled period of the 18th century. It was indeed during this period that negotiations between France and Austria began to initiate a European diplomatic revolution.

De la Recherche de la Vérité. 

Paris, Bordelet, 1749.
More Details >
250 €

During the publication of this treatise (first ed. : 1675), the first published by Malebranche, his contemporaries especially retained Cartesianism: dualism of thought and extension, rule of evidence, method using the Regulae of Descartes, influence of Dioptrics and the Treatise on Man, Cartesian physics. Even the concept of the soul, a simple occasion for the movements of the body, could be drawn from the Cartesians La Forge and Cordemoy. Malebranche still appears as one of many Cartesians trying to relate to Augustinianism. The break with Cartesianism came with the publication of Enlightenments on the Search for Truth (1678). Until then centered on man, Malebranche's thought here operates a theocentric reversal. From now on, everything starts from God. All physical relationships, like all moral values, are only the expression of an immutable Order.
Many figures in the text.

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.

Transcription in Spanish of the Defense of Louis XVI by Gérard de Lally-Tollendal who had proposed to be defender of Louis XVI during his trial. It is ultimately Malesherbes who will be preferred to him but Lally-Tollendal insisted on broadcasting his argument as he had prepared it.
Here it is the Spanish translation by Simon de Codes, secretary of the Royal Spanish Academy of Law, which is used.
We can thus see that all of Europe was passionate about this unique trial of one of the most powerful monarchs of the continent.

Embarked as a cabin boy on the Port au Prince which trades between America and the Pacific Islands. Mariner landed in 1806 at Lifuka, Tonga. Attacked by local populations, most of the crew lost their lives. William Mariner was, however, taken in by the future king of Tonga: Finau Ulukalala. An ethnologist before his time, he learned their language and was interested in their customs. Adopted by Finau to replace his deceased son, William Mariner took the name Toki'Ukamea as well as several wives who gave him twelve children in four years. Back in England his testimony remains one of the main sources of knowledge of the pre-Christian society of Tonga.

Mary Lafon is favorably cited as "one of the rare writers who have understood the history and doctrine of the Albigensians", thanks to his knowledge of the language of the people he studied.
The religious issue is thus at the center of his history of the south and remains a valuable source for the history of the Waldensian and Albigensian heresies.

Beautiful copy for this edition bringing together Massillon's sermons.
Jean-Baptiste Massillon (1663-1742) was bishop of Clermont and academician, he is often compared to Bourdaloue and Bossuet.

Voltaire, who had Le Petit Carême read to him during his meals, said of him: “The preacher who knew the world best; more flowery than Bourdaloue, more pleasant, and whose eloquence smacks of the man of the court, the academician, and the man of wit; moreover, a moderate and tolerant philosopher. ».
