(CALONNE, Charles Alexandre de). Grande révolution arrivée à Londre [sic] et emprisonnement du sieur de Calonne pour l’avoir excité.  [Paris:] J. Calais, n.d. [c.   1791.]
8vo (207 × 125 mm), pp. 8. Uncut and unbound, as issued. Slightly browned, but very good.
First and only edition of this violent polemic against the disgraced minister Calonne, who had been blamed for the collapse of French finances on the eve of the Revolution. He fled to London and was at once denounced as a traitor. This rare pamphlet imagines his fate at the hands of a revolutionary mob in London.
Martin & Walter; IV/2, 7329; CCFr lists a single copy (Bn).
