[HAY DU CHASTLET (Paul). Traitté de la politique de France. By Monsieur P. H. marquis de C. Cologne, Pierre Marteau [Bruxelles, Foppens], 1669. In-12, granite calf, spine decorated, edges blotched (Binding of the time). One of the three forgeries of the original edition of 1669, this one described by Willems (n°1602) as being published in Brussels. It is said that the work earned the author a stay in the Bastille, and inspired Vauban to develop some of his ideas on taxation (cf. Spengler, p. 25, note 22). Some foxing. Small loss at the top cover.
