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.

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.

[MANUSCRIT].

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.
