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.

Fourteen pieces by two prominent members of Fourierist circles: François Barrier and Jean Journet.
The set was probably assembled by François Barrier. Two presentation copie. one from Barrier to his mother and one from Jean Journet to Barrier.
François Barrier (1813-1870), a doctor in Lyon, converted to Fourierism in the early 1840s. He played a very important role in the founding of a societarian colony in Saint-Denis du Sig, Algeria. He was part of the organizing committee that set the project in motion and was one of the administrators of the society of the Agricultural Union of Africa. He was the main driving force and financial supporter of the Ecole sociétaire de Lyon in the 1850s. He created a "Fourierist" bank that notably financed the Texas phalanstery. In 1864, he left Lyon and his career as a surgeon to go to Paris and reorganize the Ecole sociétaire, run the societarian bookstore and devote himself to writing Fourierist treatises.
- [BARRIER], Examen et Réfutation du Discours de M. Massot, Lyon, Dorier, 1846 62 pages. First edition. Work in which Barrier defends the societary doctrine.
- Commemorative banquet of the birth of Ch. Fourier, Given in Lyon on April 7, 1846 (2 bl.) - 16 pages. First edition. The Fourierists, after the death of Charles Fourier in 1837, adopted the practice of Republican Banquets and met each year to celebrate the anniversary of his birth (April 7, 1772) with a banquet. In Paris, in the provinces, abroad, many banquets were thus organized, during which the speakers took turns to praise the social theories of the master and to make many toasts. Here a handwritten note (p.9) attributes one of the "toasts" to François Barrier. - BARRIER, De L'Hygiène dans ses rapports avec l'état social, (March 15, 1845) 15 pages. Article taken from the Revue sociale, a socialist review from Lyon.
- BARRIER, De L'Hygiène dans ses rapports avec l'état social, (15 mars 1845). 15 pages.

- BARRIER, Sketch of an analogy of Man and Humanity, Lyon, Librairie sociétaire, 1846. 48 pages. First edition. Handwritten dedication from François Barrier to his mother on the half-title page. Work that exegetes certain points of Fourierist doctrine.
- The Agricultural Union of... Civil joint-stock company for the exploitation of a rural property in Africa, Lyon, Boitel, [1845]. 16 pages. First edition. Work of the organizing committee of which François Barrier was a member, from its formation until October 25, 1845. The end of the document gives the model of the power of attorney to be sent to subscribers for the founding of the company.
- Draft Statutes of a civil company, for the exploitation of a rural property in Algeria, Lyon, Dumoulin, 1845. 23-(1) pages First edition. One of the first documents relating to the Union. He presents the draft statutes of the society before its foundation, which would not take place until the end of 1845. The document also presents the members of the organizing committee (including François Barrier) and the list of the first subscribers.
- [BARRIER], The Agricultural Union of Africa, new system of colonization of Algeria, Lyon, Au Siège de la Société, 1846. viii-136-(2bl.) pages and 2 folding plates. First edition. Work in which François Barrier presents the phalansterian project of the Agricultural Union of Africa. In 1846, if the civil society leading the Union had been created, it had not yet obtained a concession from Louis Philippe. The Fourierists' project came at a time when the French State, after having conquered Algeria, was asking itself the question of a settlement colonization to make its military expenditure profitable.
Works of Jean Journet:
Jean Journet (1799-1861) defined himself as a Fourierist apostle. He traveled through France, Belgium, and also Texas to spread the good word of Charles Fourier. A friend of the painter Gustave Courbet, he was immortalized in a painting entitled "The Apostle Jean Journet leaving for the conquest of universal harmony" in 1850. An eccentric character, he aroused the anger of the Fourierists who, like Victor Considérant, wanted to normalize the movement. He had books and brochures printed at his own expense, from 1840 until his death in 1861, imbued with mysticism, apostolic lyricism, and extravagance. Lacking sales in bookstores, Journet became a street vendor of his works. There, he begged for his bread and took on the shaggy appearance of an enlightened preacher.
- JOURNET, Cri d'indignation, complainte humanitaire, Paris, Charpentier, September 1846. 16 pages. First edition. Long poem whose incipit is addressed to the "lazy", the "gangrenous disciples" who indulge in a "voluptuous drowsiness" while waiting for Harmony.
- JOURNET, Cri de Délivrance. Intronisation du règne harmonien sur le globe, Paris, Charpentier, November 1846. 16-(2) pages. Sent by the author to François Barrier. First edition. Journet opens a subscription for the creation of a Phalanstère d'enfants, one of his major projects. At the top of the list of subscribers is Alexandre Dumas, to whom Journet dedicates a poem.
- JOURNET, Résurrection sociale. Félicité universelle, cri de Détresse, Paris, Chez The author, June 1849. 16 pages. First edition. Text that encourages Fourier's disciples to get moving and practically realize a phalanstery. Note that the price of the brochure, indicated on the title, is 5fr. for the rich, 1fr. for the well-off and 15 centimes in shops.
- [JOURNET], To the founders of Universal Harmony, the grateful human race, [1850] 16 pages. Second edition. Subscribers and statutes of the Society of Active Fraternity, an "experimental association" that provides for the installation of a "swarm of devoted men, the seed of a future harmonious phalanx", placed "one to five leagues from the capital", with initially 18 to 25 households. But Journet's project does not seem to have gone any further.
- JOURNET, Socialism Unmasked: Cry of Pity, The False Prophets, Paris, Chez tous les marchands, June 1850. 16 pages. Original edition. Long poem in the form of a diatribe against Proudhon. It opens with this stanza: "Proudhon, Proudhon, It is a song That will make sense Of your jargon."
- JOURNET, Socialism Unmasked: Cry of Alarm, The Promised Land, Paris, Chez tous les marchands, July 1850. 16 pages. Original edition. Poem whose target is undoubtedly Emile de Girardin, who supported the party of Louis Napoléon Bonaparte under the Second Republic.
- JOURNET, The Year of Salvation or the solution of solutions, by a madman, a beggar, an apostle, Paris, Chez tous les marchands de nouveautés, February 1851. 16 pages. Original edition. Journet still feels alone among the Fourierists in wanting the practical advent of Charles Fourier's utopia. One also senses the disappointment of the hope raised by the Republic of 1848, while the idea of a Second Empire gradually makes its way.

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.

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).
