BOISGUILBERT (Pierre Le Pesant de). France ruined under the reign of Louis XIV. By Who & How. With the means to restore it in a short time. Cologne, Pierre Marteau, 1696. Petit in-12, marbled calf, cold fillet, decorated spine, red edges (contemporary binding). Very rare edition, decorated with an engraved copper frontispiece and a folding map engraved by Nicolas de Fer (France and its acquisitions until 1696). In this work, originally published in 1695 under the title Détail de la France, Boisguilbert (1646-1714) describes an impoverished France and criticizes the financial management of the kingdom. Short trimmed title at the foot, small paper cut-out at the head to remove a mark of belonging (handwritten ex-libris). Small clear wetness on the map and a tear restored with adhesive. Renewed title piece, restoration at the lower cover and one corner, small defects at the binding.
