LE TROSNE (Guillaume-François). Views on criminal justice. Paris, Frères Debure, 1777 [at the end]: in Orléans, De l'Imprimerie de Couret de Villeneuve. In-8, marbled basane, spine decorated, pale pink title coin, red edges (contemporary binding). Goldsmiths, number 11627. Original edition, printed in Orleans on the presses of Couret de Villeneuve. Le Trosne (1728-1780), magistrate at the presidial court of Orléans and disciple of Quesnay, the leader of the physiocratic movement, unveils here proposals to reform or rather create a new criminal justice: as for our Loix pénales, it is not properly a legislation to be reformed, but rather to be created . As for our Loix pénales, it is not strictly a law to be reformed, but to be created... The disorder in this very important section is such that one is not sure where to take these Loix (p. 126). According to him, the social interest must be combined and reconciled with the rights of the accused citizen; moreover, sentences must be proportionate to the offences and be fixed by the laws and no longer left to the sole arbitration of judges. We have linked to the following: [BIGOT DE SAINTE-FOIX (Louis-Claude)]. Opinion of the Parliament of Dauphiné, on the free circulation of Grains & the natural reduction of prices in years of high prices. Addressed to the King on 26 April 1769. S.l., 1769. First bookstore edition of this plea first appeared the same year in the Éphémérides du citoyen. It is decorated with a leaflet giving the price of wheat grains in the four main markets of the Dauphiné. Minimal skin on the binding and a small wetness at the head of two notebooks, if not a pretty copy, well bound at the time.
