About this Item

Description:

7pp. Quarto. Very minor foxing. Contemporary inscription. Fine. A French royal decree "concerning the customs declarations to be made by the ships le Bourbon, la Diane, l'Argonaute & l'Athalante, whose cargo included [pepper, wild cinnamon, aloes, rhubarb, and cotton and muslin fabrics] imported from the colonies" - Maggs. Wroth records only two copies, at NYPL and the John Crerar Library; OCLC adds two more, at Harvard and the John Carter Brown Library. Scarce. From the library of Cardinal Etienne Charles de Lomenie de Brienne (1727-1794), Minister of Louis XVI, Archbishop of Toulouse and of Sens. A friend of Voltaire and a member of the Académie Française, Brienne wielded significant power as as head of the Finance Ministry, which earned him many enemies. He died in prison during the French Revolution, despite having renounced Catholicism in 1793 (presumably as an attempt to save his life). WROTH, ACTS OF FRENCH ROYAL ADMINISTRATION 1066. MAGGS, FRENCH COLONISATION OF AMERICA 300 (this copy). OCLC 84632312. OCLC 1029943821. Seller Inventory # WRCAM40673
