MEMOIRE sur un point essentiel de la Richesse de l'État.

No place, no date. Nice engraved head piece depicting a ship sailing out of a harbour. 16 pp. 8vo. Modern half morocco, marbled boards, gilt lettering on spine. Not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in INED; not in Musset-Pathay First edition. Probably written around 1788-1789 as the author refers to the upcoming meeting of the Three Estates (the only one held in the 18th century) and reminds the reader of the 'grande sechesse de l'été de 1785.' Advocates agriculture and the means to improve its results, and points to the devastating effects of the 'Dime'.
