Set of pamphlets on the subject of the celebration of revolutionary festivals.
We have somewhat forgotten today that the Revolution, by putting aside religion, had proposed a whole paraphernalia of festivities to replace traditional festivals. We thus rediscover the Festivals of youth, Spouses, Modesty, agriculture..., celebrated in dedicated Temples (of the Law, of the Supreme Being...).

Two important works from Condorcet.
1- "Essai sur la Constitution" : Scarce fist edition of the Condorcet's "most important political work" (Badinter Condorcet).
It is one of the fundamental texts in French political history and "the most important book of Constitutional Law that was published at that time and even since" (Allengry, Condorcet guide de la Révolution Française).
In this work, Condorcet is one of the first authors to claim the right to vote for women.
2. "Sur la nécessité de faire ratifier la Constitution par les citoyens", is less known but important, since Condorcet studies the question of whether, and under what conditions, a nation may confer upon an assembly the power to give it a constitution or to accept it on its behalf.

This required perfect mastery of maneuvers by the officers.

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.
