    2 vols. in-8, contemporary half-morocco burgundy, spine richly decorated with fine double fillets and gilt fleurons, full page portrait of the author, (binding slightly rubbed, foxing and spots mainly marginal, library marks), a fine copy despite the aforementioned defects, [this book comes from the personal library of Bernard Pacteau], 411 / 409 p.
    Baron de Cormenin, famous for his works on administrative law which make him one of the founders of the field, was also a formidable pamphleteer under the name Timon, gifted with a brilliant pen. This copy constitutes the definitive edition of one of his best-known works devoted to the art of oratory, and especially to parliamentary oratory. It begins with a treatise on parliamentary eloquence, then moves on to other genres (eloquence in the press, the didactic approach to pamphlets, and the eloquence of the Bar and the Public Prosecutor's Office), among which one chapter stands out that is not found in any other treatise on oratory: on the Deliberative Eloquence of the Council of State of the First Empire (of which the author was a member). The remainder of the book consists of a series of portraits of the most prominent parliamentarians during the first half of the 19th century (Benjamin Constant, Royer-Collard, Villêle, Ledru-Rollin, Lafayette, Odilon-Barrot, Arago, Lamartine, Thiers, etc.). It also includes several short pamphlets that had not been republished until now, among which "Statute of the New Egalitarian Order," a parody of Fourierist doctrine, is particularly noteworthy, as is a very interesting appendix on coups d'état. Latest edition.
