LETTRE d'un cadet de province à son aîné à Paris, sur le droit d'aînesse et la liberté de la presse.

Paris, les marchands de nouveautés, 1826. 27, (1) pp. 32mo. Modern boards, original covers preserved, outer margin of front cover repaired. Satirical pamphlet against the newly established 'droit d'aînesse', signed at end 'Cadet'. In feudal times the eldest male heir was entitled to the largest part of the inheritance to the disadvantage of the younger male heirs and the female heirs. In 1826 the restauration government tried to re-establish the feudal 'droit d'aînesse': deals furthermore with the freedom of the press and the liberty (or absence thereof) to discuss the topic.
