4 volumes in-8, sous forme de classeurs en demi-basane de l?époque; chaque brochure à l?état de parution est rattachée par des fils au cadre de bois qui vient renforcer le dos. Remarquable ensemble de 101 brochures parues de 1779 à 1780, rassemblées par Jean-Robert Tronchin et montées dans d'ingénieux classeurs à l'époque. Une littérature militante. Les libelles qui inondèrent la République de Genève, de 1760 à 1782, rendent compte des luttes acharnées qui opposèrent les Négatifs, partisans de l?aristocratie au pouvoir, aux Représentants, issus de la petite bourgeoisie libérale et frondeuse. Les Natifs, privés des droits politiques et traités en parias, se jetèrent bientôt dans la mêlée. Emile Rivoire, bibliographe de l?histoire de Genève au XVIIIe siècle, recense quelque 6000 titres qui témoignent de la « manie brochurière » des 25000 habitants de la cité. À Versailles, Vergennes ne cessait d?intervenir dans la lutte. À l?annonce de la « révolution » de 1781, on entendit Louis XVI traiter les Genevois « d?enragés ». De la bibliothèque du procureur général Tronchin. Jean Robert II Tronchin (1710-1793) « passe pour avoir été la meilleure tête politique du patriciat genevois de son temps, et dans les fonctions de procureur général de la République, qu?il exerça de 1760 à 1768, il semble avoir fait preuve de modération, d?intelligence et d?ouverture » (Jean-Daniel Candaux). Son réquisitoire contre l?Emile et le Contrat social en 1762, puis contre le Dictionnaire philosophique en 1765, laisse supposer une main de fer dans un gant de velours. En tête des quatre volumes, il a dressé une table manuscrite de chacune des pièces et donné pour nombre d?entre elles leur date de publication. Certaines pièces sont des copies manuscrites de sa main.
