See Volpilhac-Auger, G.Sabbagh & Weil: Un auteur en quête d'êditeurs? Histoire éditoriale de l'oeuvre de Montesquieu. 2011, pp.47-67, 413-416. It is believed that the first edition was printed in 500 t0 1500 copies, nobody really knows; part of the edition seems to have been seized by customs or lost in transport; in particular a large number of copies sent to England seem to have disappeared. Montesquieu was horrified by the errors he found which explains why no less than four kinds of errata were printed from January 1749 - three of which were destined for the first edition and inserted in the last copies that had been unsold and uncirculated by that time.

FIRST EDITION of Montesquieu's [1689-1755] great L'esprit des loix in which he argued that the best government would be one in which power was balanced among three groups of officials. He thought England - which divided power between the king (who enforced laws), Parliament (which made laws), and the judges of the English courts (who interpreted laws) - was a good model of this. Montesquieu called the idea of dividing government power into three branches the \"separation of powers.\" He thought it most important to create separate branches of government with equal but different powers. That way, the government would avoid placing too much power with one individual or group of individuals. He wrote, \"When the [law making] and [law enforcement] powers are united in the same person... there can be no liberty.\" According to Montesquieu, each branch of government could limit the power of the other two branches. Therefore, no branch of the government could threaten the freedom of the people. His ideas about separation of powers became the basis for the United States Constitution.

John Maynard Keynes in the manuscript preface to his French edition of The General Theory described Montesquieu as the greatest French economist: "Montesquieu was the real French equivalent of Adam Smith. The greatest of your economists, head and shoulders above the Physiocrats in penetration, clear-headedness and good sense".

Description:
1615 1ed History of Louis XII France Military Auton & Seyssel Henry VII England

During the reign of Louis XII of France, very little was written on the life and efforts of the king. However, Louis XII did employ an historian, Jean d'Auton, to chronicle French military battles and extraordinary events that occurred during his reign. Along with Claude de Seyssel, Auton's annals were some of the few histories written on Louis XII's reign.

This volume from Auton's history covers the years 1506 to 1508 and includes biographical descriptions of important French figures including:
·
Charles II d'Ambroise
·
George d'Amboise
·
Henry VII of England
·
Jacques de La Palice

This 1615 first edition was collected and edited by Theodore Godefroy who published the work under the title 'Histoire de Louys XII'.

Text block just beginning to crack at the rear tail. Céline's "Mort à crédit" or "Death on the Installment Plan" revitalized the traditionalist French genre by its blending of Gothic styles with the more modern technique of blurring the lines between character and author. It is the companion to "Journey to the End of the Night". In 1938, shortly after this book's release John Walcott backhandedly idolizes the book for its grotesque narcissism and apolitical theme. Céline's openness to disgust and candor fed into what we now call "dark humor
