(...) If the publisher attributed it to Boullainvilliers, it is apparently because he found the frontispiece, 'by M. D. B.', for I do not see the author named in full anywhere\" (Dupin, ref. 875). Under the title \"history,\" it should be understood that the form is almost novelistic; the author uses a significant number of examples and writes in a style that is clearer but also freer than in a true treatise. This contrasts with the content, which clearly and unadorned highlights all the difficulties, prerogatives, and inconsistencies between the status of Peers and the Peerage itself. A rare work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963481981275,"sku":"39884","price":300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/39884-1.jpg?v=1766937791","url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/39884-d-histoire-de-la-pairie","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
