Le bric-à-brac, with its reasoned catalog, Paris, chez Ledoyen, 1853, 12mo, half leather binding, corner and headwear wear, some browning, 384 and 320 pages. A collection of articles and pamphlets on various personalities, Constant, Mercoeur, Turgot, Maurepas, princess of Conti... A mischievous and tireless writer, irreverent journalist, the Angers native François Grille displayed a true passion for public service throughout his life. His various careers within the administration were interrupted due to his stance against the current power. His political and literary work were underpinned by a thirst for social justice and the pursuit of moderate humanism, leading to his fourth and final dismissal. (Claudie Gohier Segretain).
