Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. fr. in-8 rel. cart. (16 x 24,4), 702 p., édition critique, introduction et présentation de François Monnier, préface de Marc Fumaroli, front., envoi de l'auteur, très bon état. Le Conseiller d'Estat ou Recueil général de la politique moderne est l'un des grands traités politiques du XVIIe siècle. Son auteur, Philippe de Béthune, diplomate réputé et fin connaisseur de la vie publique, a écrit un livre étonnant de philosophie politique, de stratégie, d'économie et d'urbanisme. uvre d'un homme de cour, habitué à côtoyer les princes, il est le produit de la réflexion et de l'expérience d'un personnage singulier, mais aussi d'une époque insolite de mutation entre deux mondes, celui de la Renaissance, des guerres de religion et des troubles de la Ligue, et celui de l'absolutisme monarchique et de l'État moderne, marquée par une transformation profonde des valeurs politiques et morales. Personnalité peu commune, qui a voyagé à travers toute l'Europe, qui par deux fois a été ambassadeur à Rome et qui a bénéficié d'une longévité remarquable, Philippe de Béthune est le frère puîné de Sully. Il naît sous Charles IX, commence sa carrière comme mignon, dans l'entourage de Joyeuse, l'archi-favori d'Henri III, sert Henri IV, Louis XIII, Richelieu et termine sa vie sous le ministériat de Mazarin. Publié en 1633, avec l'accord du cardinal ministre, Le Conseiller d'Estat n'a jamais été réédité depuis 1684. Cette nouvelle édition est précédée d'une longue introduction sur l'art politique de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle et le paysage mental de l'époque. Voir le sommaire sur photos jointes.

Alexander Bethune, Minister of the Gospel in Skye, and his sister Janet Macleod£100 to each of his four nieces Appointments of Rev. John Bethune, Minister in the Co. of Glengarry, Upper Canada, and Alexander Mackenzie of Montreal to carry out terms of the will.Agreement signed July 21 and 28, 1798 on Skye and Inverness by various parties and witnesses (20 signatures) includes John Macdonald, Simon Fraser, and James Grant as notaries. Verso of agreement comprised of signed affidavits and sub agreements: Alexander Tolmie, sub-lieutenant in Ulinish, Skye, executed by William B. Inglis, provost and chief magistrate of the Royal Burgh of Inverness July 13, 1798Rev. William Bethune, Kenneth MacLeod Elder and Alexander MacLeod Elder, July 1 1798 John Bethune, Joseph Maurice Lamotte, T. W. Albert (?) March 1 1799, delegating Alexander Mackenzie William Inglis was a merchant and banker in Inverness. In 1797 he was elected provost, a post he held until 1800. Provost Inglis is remembered for having entertained Robert Burns at supper at his home in September 1778. Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1764-1820) was one of Canada's greatest explorers. In two epic journeys for the North West Company in 1789 and 1793, he crossed the dense northern wilderness to reach the Arctic and Pacific Oceans. The first European to cross North America north of Mexico, he inspired later adventurers and traders, such as the famous Lewis and Clark expedition sponsored by the American military (18046). The Mackenzie River, named in his honour, symbolizes Mackenzie's important place as a pioneer and fur trader in Canadian history.Joseph Maurice Lamothe (1781-1827) was a fur trader, militia officer and Indian Department official. The Rev. John Bethune was born on Skye in 1751 and died September 23, 1815 in Williamstown, Glengarry County, aged 64. He moved to North Carolina before the American Revolution and became a man of considerable property before losing it all for his loyalty to Britain. He became Chaplain to the British Forces in Sir John Johnson's Regiment and was taken prisoner at the battle at Cross Creek in 1776. As a Loyalist he settled in Montreal in 1786 and moved to Glengarry County in 1787. He was probably the first Presbyterian minister in Upper Canada. Marrying a Swiss woman, Veronique Wadden, he became the father of six sons and three daughters, eventually becoming patriarch of a notable Canadian family connected with the fur trade, politics, medicine, law, and the church. His son John became Dean of Montreal while his son Alexander became Bishop of Toronto.

Splendid deluxe copy of the Rouen-printed reprint of the first two parts of the Duke of Sully's notorious memoirs. Here, he develops his vision of a Europe comprised of fifteen roughly equal-sized European states, under the direction of a "Very Christian Council of Europe", and possessed of a common army. This famous "Grand Design", a utopian plan for a Christian republic, is often cited as one of the first grand schemes anticipating the European Union. This Rouen edition of 1649 was precisely copied after the very scarce editio princeps, printed between 1639 and 1640 by Jacques Bouquet at Château de Sully in fewer than 400 copies. The first two parts cover the years from 1570 to 1605. The editio princeps of part III and IV was published by Augustin Courbé in Paris in 1662. - Finely copy bound by Niédrée for the Baron François-Florentin-Achille de Seillière (1813-73). - Cioranescu 63703.

Bruges, Lille, Tournai, Société Saint Augustin, session 1 (1864) - 46 (1913/14), comprénants 25 tomes. 4to.(29 cm). (tous parus / all published). Avec Table générale des Bulletins I-XXXV. Les séances 2 & 3 sont pas pa rues. Les séances 1-36 sont reliées uniformement en 14 tomes, demi veau, dos ornés, plats marbrés (tome 14 chiffré 'session 35', il faut lire 'sessions 35-36'). Les séances 37-46 brochées, comme parues. Avec des nombreuses planches, en couleurs et dépliantes. La collation révéle le manquant de la séance 45 (excursion en Champagne). Le dernier livraison (probablement publié en 1914) porte un avis: 'le Bulletin de la 44-ième session sera distribué très prochainement. Celui de la 45-ième session est en préparation'. En effet Session 44 a été publiée, et je pense que la Grande Guerre (éclatée en juillet 1914) a fait barrage à la publication. On ne peut pas vérifier cette supposition, parce que aucune Bibliothèque nationale consultée (Pays Bas, la Belgique, la France etc) posséde une série complète. Tome 1: manque planche VI; et seulement 3 photographies originales (sur 17). Les premiers 15 sessions sont fort rares, parce que le tirage était exclusivement pour le membres (autour de 100). Poids sur-élévé: 40 kilogrammes. On y joint: une lettre de 3 pages de Jules Helbig (datée 6 Dec. 1895), à Monsieur le Curé (abbé Balan ?), et un article de Jules Helbig dans tome 3: Les reliques et les reliquaires donnés par saint Louis roi de France au convent des dominicains de Liège. 1881.
