44. [Lot XVIIe et XVIIIe]. Reunion of 6 bound volumes from the 17th and 18th centuries on various subjects: - [MIGNOT DE BUSSY (A.-F.-A.)]. Lettre sur l'origine de la noblesse françoise, et sur la manière dont elle s'est conservée jusqu'à nos jours. Lyon, J. de Ville, 1763. In-12, marbled fawn calf, ornate spine. Minor defects. - Parliament of Bordeaux]. Très-Humbles et très respectueuses remontrances qu'adressent au Roi notre très-humble et très-souverain Seigneur, les Gens tenant sa Cour de Parlement à Bordeaux. Paris, s.é., 1784. In-12, marbled fawn basane, spine ribbed and decorated. The Parlement informs the King of the miserable conditions of the people, victims of the flooding of the Garonne, of trade subject to customs harassment, of the Domaine's claim to alluvial deposits, etc. These difficulties are rendered insurmountable by the French government. These difficulties are rendered insurmountable by the unjust system of corvée and other taxes. In this edition, the king is unfortunately described as "very humble" instead of "very honored". An anonymous hand, probably the publisher, made the corrections in the known copies. Following the May admonition, the June admonition. Deep worm bite through last plate. - ROUTH (B.)].
