This is a variant of the example cited by Wroth, of which only one copy is located, that at Harvard. No copies of this issue are located in OCLC. Rare. From the library of Cardinal Etienne Charles de Lomenie de Brienne (1727-1794), Minister of Louis XVI, Archbishop of Toulouse and of Sens.

He died in prison during the French Revolution, despite having renounced Catholicism in 1793 (presumably as an attempt to save his life). WROTH, ACTS OF FRENCH ROYAL ADMINISTRATION 1179 (ref). MAGGS, FRENCH COLONISATION OF AMERICA 341 (this copy). Quarto, on a folded folio sheet. Some light foxing and soiling. Contemporary inscription. Very good. …
