First editions.
Collection of satirical memoirs published by Beaumarchais between 1773 and 1774 in the form of false reports and pleadings of the trial which then pitted him against Judge Goezman. These memoirs, which mix dialogues and interrogations, entertained the whole of Paris, including Madame Du Barry, and were played almost everywhere in the cafés and on the boulevards, because they constitute a formidable comedy in which the lie ends up being revealed.

First edition.
Offprint of this very interesting article on epistemology by Henri Poincaré in which he analyzes the relationship between the mathematical laws of physics and the data of experience: When should one be right in one and wrong in the other?
In this report which was presented to the International Congress of Physics in 1900, Poincaré discusses there in particular at the end of the text the Lorentz equations which make it possible to analyze certain physical facts but not all, which will be decided by Einstein a few years later with his special theory of relativity.
This debate is still an issue for modern physics about dark matter, should we change physical theories or improve our measurement capabilities?.

Edition published the same year as the original edition.
Bengesco [II, pp.415-417] comments at length on the difference between this edition and that of Geneva at Robert. The text in Rey's edition goes as far as the hardback edition of the Robert edition except for the last sentence. S

ome hypotheses suggest that it was Diderot who had this Amsterdam edition published, whereas Madame de Caylus's manuscript had been passed from hand to hand for several years. However, a few rare copies have a 22-page notebook with a preface by Voltaire which is absent from our copy [cf. Bengesco].
