Contemporary half calf, spine with raised bands, marbled boards. First work: Not in Kress (cf.: B.360 & B.361); not in INED; not in Einaudi; Goldsmiths 12183 & 12184. At least three issues appeared in 1781: two from the Imprimerie Royale and 1 from the Imprimerie du Cabinet du Roi. The latter was intended for royal use only and was not put in the trade. The Compte rendu was published in Monday, February 19 and fell on such fertile soil that even Necker must have been astonished at the eagerness with which the public seized upon the treatise, noting minutely every figure in the account, toting up the sums of revenue and expenditure, seeing how much the king spent on favors and pensions, adn what the royal household cost, and exactly what tribute was levied upon the people. .... But there was much more than figures in the treatise. Necker surveyed for the king (and the public) everything he had accomplished during his ministry. He expressed his ideas on reform and summarized what had been accomplished, and what he hoped to accomplish when the war (the American War of Independence) ended. The principles of moderate reform generated strong public support.Second work: Goldsmiths 13421; Einaudi 798; cf.
