Victor de Riquetti, marquis de MIRABEAU (1715-1789)... - Lot 11 - Rossini
Victor de Riquetti, marquis de MIRABEAU (1715-1789) "the Friend of Men", economist and agronomist, father of the great orator. L.S., Paris October 19, 1760; 3 pages in-4. On his Theory of Taxation. If the approval given to his last work speaks above all to his heart, it is true that "it is not necessary to be absolutely in the swimsuit as for the lights to taste the continuation of the principles which I establish, and to appropriate the consequences of it; but it is not my fault if the depravity of the heart and the falseness of the human spirit have so complicated the simple and natural sciences that it is necessary today to be harassed to arrive at the point to find and feel what a child would have naturally said and thought "... He summarizes the exchange that he had with M.
