MIRABEAU, Honoré-Gabriel Riqueti, comte de. Catechisme de la Constitution, à l'usage des habitans de la campagne, by a deputy of the National Assembly. No mention of place, no mention of publisher, 1790. In-12 paperback, black titling in floral frame on front cover. 24 pages. Small educational work published anonymously in 1791 by Honoré-Gabriel Riquetti, comte de Mirabeau (1749-1791), a figure of the Revolution. The text, designed to popularize the principles of the 1791 Constitution among rural and illiterate populations, explains in question-and-answer format the notions of national sovereignty, civil rights, separation of powers, and the role of the king and the assemblies. A good copy of this "political catechism" text, which illustrates the Assembly's political pedagogy to promote the spread of revolutionary ideas.
