Remarquable traité sur les deux grands partis politiques anglais, leur histoire, leur développement et leurs positions respectives. * L'auteur, l'historien protestant français Paul de Rapin, sieur de Thoyras (1661-1725), s'était exilé en Angleterre et en Hollande après la révocation de l'Edit de Nantes. Il est également l'auteur d'une monumentale Histoire de l'Angleterre dans laquelle il a repris la présente dissertation. Bel exemplaire portant au dos les pièces d'armes de Louis-Paul Abeille (1719-1807), économiste, inspecteur général des Manufactures de France et Secrétaire général du Conseil du bureau de commerce. Il avait été, successivement, le conseiller intime de Trudaine, Turgot, Lamoignon, Malesherbes et Calonne, mais son mérite principal fut le rôle qu'il joua à la Société royale d'agriculture. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition, cf Conlon 17:710.
