Mirabeau, H.G. Riquetti Comte de
Atlas de la monarchie Prussienne
London, 1788
27x40 cm, 10 engraved double page maps (Tardieu after Mentelle) and 93 engraved (military) plates (some folding). Covers and spine worn, binding tight, inside generally good. Mirabeau (1749 - 1791) was a French writer, popular orator and statesman. During the French Revolution, he was a moderate, favored a constitutional monarchy built on the model of Great Britain, and conducted secret negotiations with the king in order to reconcile the monarchy and the revolution--an effort that failed. After a preliminary tour to Berlin at the beginning of 1786 he was despatched in July 1786 on a secret mission to the court of Prussia, from which he returned in January 1787. During his journey he had made the acquaintance of Jakob Mauvillon (1743-1794), whom he found possessed of a great number of facts and statistics with regard to Prussia; these he made use of in a great work on Prussia of which this is the sought-after atlas. His De la monarchie Prussienne sous Frédéric le Grand (London, 1788) gave him a general reputation for historical learning.
