JOUIN, Nicolas] - Les Préjugés démasqués En vers patois sarcelois. Portmahon (Paris ?), 1756. In-12, (4) ff, 94 pp, ochre half-marble, smooth spine grotesquely decorated (HONNELAÎTRE).
First edition. The author, a jeweler born in Chartres in 1684, became a banker in Paris, where he died in 1757. A Jansenist pamphleteer, he had been imprisoned two years earlier for a series of rhyming harangues known as "les sarcellades", in which he used satire to make serious arguments against the enemies of the Jansenists. As usual, he used the dialect of the Paris region. The address ''Portmahon'' refers to the capture of the island of Minorca by the French on June 29, 1756, against the English. (Rel. following the same:) Critique sur les Préjugés démasqués. Idem. (1) f., 66 pp.
