Second issue of the first edition, including at the end the Réponse aux objects des remonstrances du Parlement de Bordeux, which was not included in the first issue. In this vehement work, the 'Fermiers-Généraux' were accused of corruption. It caused the imprisonment of the author, the printer (Lambert) and the distributor (Ormancey) in the Bastille. Four years after its publication the book was still sold secretly at high prices. Verso half-title contains the "explication" of the frontispiece. Second work: not in Kress; Goldsmiths 10025; Higgs 3018; INED 4797.According to Goldsmiths this is not by Darigrand, but a reply to Darigrand's work. ‎
