Description
1777 Banned Book Les Moeurs Francois Toussaint Louis XV French Regicide France
Shortly after the release of François-Vincent Toussaint’s ‘Les Moeurs’ in 1748, the country of France became quickly outraged by the content. Known now for its controversial content and message, ‘Les Moeurs’ is remembered for leading many readers to contemplate regicide! The book was so detestable to French royalty, that the French court of justice had all known copies burned. In 1763, Toussaint published an explanation of ‘Les Moeurs,’ but the damage had been done after attempted assassinations of Louis XV were attributed to provoking of ‘Les Moeurs.’
This rare 1777 edition was published in Amsterdam; a fine French edition with handwritten notes on blank sheets.
