[ROBESPIERRE (Maximilien)]. Plaidoyers pour le Sieur de Viss - Lot 223
[ROBESPIERRE (Maximilien)]. Plaidoyers pour le Sieur de Vissery de Bois-Valé, appelant d'un Jugement des Échevinsde Saint-Omer, qui avait ordonné la destruction d'un Par-à-Tonnerre élevé sur sa maison. Paris, s.n., 1783. In-8, 100 pages, unbound, yellow edges. Mottelay, pp. 278-279. Robespierre's two pleas in the Saint-Omer lightning rod case: the first famous case defended by the young lawyer. Paris edition. Another edition of this interesting legal piece is known, that of Arras, by G. Delasablonnière. Charles-Dominique de Vissery de Bois-Valé, a former lawyer with a passion for scientific novelties, had installed a lightning conductor on his property in Saint-Omer, but the local population, fearing that such an installation would attract lightning rather than concentrate it, petitioned the town's aldermen, who ordered the object of the dispute to be dismantled. In his defense, Sieur de Vissery de Bois-Valé appealed to the young Robespierre, who won the case. Angular moulding on the first and last leaves, which are a little spotted.
