Set of two books to be used in the history of the Seven Years' War.

The first in the original edition is a collection of letters between the Marshals of Belle-Isle (1684-1761) and of Contades (1704-1793) which we learn were "found among the papers of Monsieur de Contades after the battle from Minden ".
The Battle of Minden was a decisive French defeat in the Seven Years' War. Despite a clear numerical superiority the French led by Contades bowed to the Anglo-Prussians. The Seven Years' War will mark the beginning of the loss of influence of France in Europe and the beginning of English hegemony (which will be definitively recorded at Waterloo).

Followed by :
Collection of letters from H. M. the King of Prussia, to be used in the history of the last war, Leipsick, At the expense of the associated booksellers, 1773
Second complete edition of both parts.

From a follower of the Boucicaut Master.

The painter uses an extensive palette with sharp contrasts, and does not hesitate to use a bright minium red that he contrasts with the blues and greens in the happiest of ways.
The abstract backgrounds and the systematic use of a grassy ground, give to the whole manuscript a beautiful coherence and a great elegance.

Some of the preserved paintings, such as those of the Annunciation to the Shepherds, the Crucifixion, and St. Margaret, bear witness to the artist's talent and the high quality of this manuscript.

It should be noted that the composition of the The Flight into Egypt is closely mirrors of a Boucicaut composition.

First edition.
Rare offprint of an article published in the journal Champagne catholique.
This journal was created at the end of the July Monarchy to defend moral and religious interests against the anticlerical political groups that were beginning to organize. Here the article targets Fourier's system, of which Victor Considérant was then the best-known promoter.
"His ideas of association are destined, without doubt, to play an important role in the future developments of civilization; we must deplore that Fourier has cast disfavor on them, by associating them with the deepest immorality." (p.35).

New edition printed by the author in his printing house in Boussac.
Pierre-Henri Leroux (1797 - 1871) is an editor, philosopher, theoretician of socialism. In 1843, Leroux obtained a patent to create a printing press in Boussac, he settled there, brought his family and friends, then, over the months, disciples seduced by his theories and by the way of life of the community that he founded in this small town in Creuse.
“Yes, it is capitalist industry that kills; it is not, as Malthus says, Nature.” (p.60)

Copy which was bound for François Barrier, central personality of the Fourierist movement, he adhered to the Fourierist doctrine in 1843. He was, in 1845, one of the founders of the Phalansterian project of the African Agricultural Union and became the main leader and financial support from the Lyon School of Society in the 1850s. He created a “Fourierist” bank which notably financed the Texas phalanstery. In 1864, he left Lyon and his career as a surgeon to go to Paris to reorganize the School of Society and devote himself to writing Fourierist treatises.
