No place, 1788. 35, (1) pp. 8vo. Modern boards. Martin & Walter, 23291 (different edition). The author, Avocat at the Parlement de Paris, complains about prosecutions he has to suffer from his colleagues and reveals, with the names, cases of misuse or abuse of royal finances, loans, taxes, etc. Martin de Mariveaux had revealed, in previous years, various forms of fraud, misuse and the like of the taxes and the state's finances and was entitled to a reward and reimbursement of costs incurred. Neither of these was forthcoming and in this text Martin de Mariveaux appeals to the king and asks for justice. On page 28 of this text it is stated that Martin de Mariveaux published an earlier work, entitled Récit présenté à monseigneur de Calonne . which was apparently issued in only three copies only, one for Calonne, one for Vergennes and one for Lenoir. This earlier publication equally did not result in any reward or reimbursement.The pages 21-end contain the 'pieces justificatives' with a Mémoire which has been sent to the Controllor-general in November 1787, and an Extrait des Services du Sieur de Mariveaux, & des promesses de l'Administration.

No place, (1786). With engraved frontispiece. 76, (2) pp. 8vo. Modern half morocco. Conlon 86:1577; not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in Einaudi; not in INED; not in Mattioli; Martin & Walter, 23289. At the foot of the title-page the following is printed: 'Il n'existe que trois exemplaires de ce récit: le premier pour Mgr. le Contrôleur-général (Calonne), le second pour M. Lenoir, président des Départemens; le troisième pour M. de Vergennes, intendant au Département des impositions." A note by the editor, preceding the frontipiece and title and signed "Le marquis de L***," states that he was able to borrow and copy the text from one of these three printed copies.The work deals with indemnities the author should receive from the state, but which are being withheld. Apparently the author, Avocat au Parlement de Paris, has discovered that substantial sums of money "disappear". Although he revealed what happened, and was entitled to a reward as well as reimbursment for costs made, he has great difficulty in getting the money due to him. The three persons for whom the copies were printed were all involved or responsible in this affair. - Very nice engraved frontispiece showing a bee hive surrounded by bees and the text at foot "Pro Rege Exacuunt." - Very rare.
