[HAY DU CHASTLET (Paul)]. A treatise on the politics of France. By Monsieur P. H. Marquis de C. Cologne, Pierre Marteau [Brussels, Foppens], 1669. In-12, granite calf, spine decorated, spine gilt (contemporary binding). One of the three forgeries of the original 1669 edition, this one described by Willems (No. 1602) as being published in Brussels. The work is said to have earned its author a stay at the Bastille, and inspired Vauban with some of his ideas on taxation (cf. Spengler, p. 25, note 22). Freckles. Little missing from the top cap.
