[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 speckled (period binding). One of the three forgeries of the original edition of 1669, this one described by Willems (n°1602) as being published in Brussels. The work earned its author, it is said, a stay in the Bastille, and inspired to Vauban some of his ideas on taxation (cf. Spengler, p. 25, note 22). Some foxing. Small loss at the top cover. Traces of moisture, not visible on the photos.
