Brochure/Pamphlet. Condition: Very Good. None (illustrator). A very scarce French work on Black point, a disease affecting what, barley, and rye. A very scarce pamphlet from late Eighteenth Century France. Written by Benign Francois Louis Bertier de Sauvigny, a French politician who oversaw many unpopular agricultural reforms before his execution in 1789, the volume details an disease affecting corn in the commune of Gambais, outside Paris. This volume is especially notable due to the charges levelled against de Sauvigny which led to his hanging by revolutionaries, which included him diverting grain away from starving citizens, thus perhaps bringing into question the legitimacy of the claims made here. Publisher's information established from a copy held in the The Bibliothèque nationale de France. In a string binding with contemporary paper wraps. Externally, smart. A little bumped to the extremities with some light handling marks. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with the odd spot. Very Good. book.
