LETTRES Critiques sur l'Examen Impartial des Immunités Ecclésiastiques. Addressées à l'Auteur de cet Ouvrage. Seconde Edition.
En France, 1751. 70, (2) pp. 8vo. Modern boards. Conlon S51:11; not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in INED (see 1094 for the work by Chauvelin). The 'Avis de l'Editeur', printed verso title-page states the first manuscript was lost and that it had been necessary to ask the author for another copy of the manuscript. The author did indeed supply another copy of the manuscript but only after he had made considerable changes in the text. This suggests that this is the first printing of the text. The Examen Impartial was written by the Abbé Louis-Philippe Chauvelin in which he argued that, although the clergy was entitled to its special prerogatives, it could not use these to claim total exemption from taxation.According to Conlon a second volume was published in 1753 entitled 'Suite des Lettres Critiques ....'. Conlon also knows of no other edition but the present one as the first publication of this text.
