IMPORTANT SET OF ORIGINAL WORKS, gathered together by a collector or one era scholar.
We point out the particular importance of the second manuscript, the Déclaration of Bourboulon, as it could be a valuable source for identifying the author of the Lettre d'un ami, anonymous pamphlet that came out in 1781.
The Compte rendu of Necker, in RARE FIRST EDITION, is the first public presentation of the budget and expenditure of the French Government. The report argues that the ordinary revenues exceed expenditures in France for over 10 million lire: the aim is to strengthen the trust of backers and public opinion, political subject of recent birth and of which this paper is perhaps the first witness.
The work sparked a harsh and even fierce debate, illustrated here by the first two manuscripts that were bound in volume to follow the Compte rendu. The New Palgrave: “In 1781 Necker's famous Compte Rendu au Roi appeared, addressed rather to the public than to the head of the state. His popularity increased; the success of his report, the first of its class, though incomplete, was great.”.
All manuscripts are some variations compared to the printed works.Provenance: Ink stamp on inside front cover: Ex Libris Francois Tocaven, with a coat of arms.Compte rendu: Kress B.360; Goldsmiths 12183 & 12184; Einaudi 4094, No in INED.
