[PERCHEL (Abbé)]. Haute Messe célébrée par l'abbé Perchel, Conseiller-Clerc du ci-devant soi-disant Conseil Supérieur de Rouen. sl, aux dépens du Conseil Supérieur, 1774. In-12, 20 pp. Red half-maroquin, smooth spine decorated, gilt title, date on tail, covers preserved (Lemardeley). The bloodiest satire ever published against the Conseil supérieur. It was directed mainly against Abbé Perchel, promoter of the chapître, councillor-clerk of the Parlement de Normandie, who had made himself unpopular by sitting on the Conseil Supérieur, or Parlement Maupeou. Abbé Perchel died in Rouen at the age of 76, locked up in the Palais de Justice prison, on June 26, 1794. The Conseil Supérieur, created in Rouen by edict in Dec. 1771, was abolished, and the Cour des Comptes, Aides et Finances de Normandie, re-established on Nov. 12, 1774, by edict in October of the same year. The reprint by the Société rouennaise des bibliophiles is based on a copy of this edition. Ex-libris J.M. Another copy of this same first edition in brown half calf, smooth mute spine (early 19th c. binding) with bound on suite: Mandement de Monseigneur l'évêque d'Alais, qui ordonne dans son Diocese des prieres pour le repos de l'Ame du feu Roi. Nismes, Belle, 1774. 21 pp. Bookplate J.L. engraved by Jules Adeline (1896). Bookplate J.M. The same work in the 1775 edition (En Normandie, aux dépens de la Fabrique). In-12, 23 pp. Ivory half vellum, smooth spine, gilt title throughout, date on tail, gilt arms at top of cover (late 19th c. binding). Small hole with loss of text in title. Ex-libris J.M. (Frère II, 67.)
