J.P. BRISSOT, DEPUTY OF EURE AND LOIRE, TO HIS CONSTITUENTS, ON THE SITUATION OF THE NATIONAL CONVENTION; ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE ANARCHISTS, AND THE EVILS IT HAS CAUSED; AND ON THE NECESSITY OF ANNIHILATING THAT INFLUENCE IN ORDER TO SAVE THAT REPUBLIC. TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH

New York: Re-Printed by Childs and Swaine, for F. Childs and Co. Berry, Rogers, and Berry, and Thomas Allen, 1794. [2], 109, [1 blank] pp. Disbound and lightly foxed, Good+. Contemporary clergyman Joseph Bloomfield's copy, with his signature.

This is the first and only 18th century American edition. Brissot was a leader of the Girondins, who opposed the radical Jacobins during the French Revolution. He represented Eure and Loire in the National Assembly, and advises his constituents on the ongoing political struggles in the Assembly. Persisting in his denunciations of the Jacobins, he was arrested and guillotined, along with some of his Girondin allies, in late 1793. All editions of this pamphlet-- this one, several from London, and several from Dublin-- were printed posthumously in 1794.
