Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the origin and legal status of Brevets de Retenue, a form of government-issued document in pre-revolutionary France that granted individuals the right to receive payment from the successor of an officeholder. The author traces the development of these Brevets from their origins in the late 17th century to their abolition during the French Revolution, examining their role in the French financial system and their impact on the lives of officeholders and their families. Through a thorough examination of archival documents and legal texts, the book sheds light on the complex relationship between the monarchy, the state, and private individuals in the administration of justice and finance during the Ancien RÃ gime. The author argues that Brevets de Retenue were not merely a form of compensation for officeholders but also a tool used by the monarchy to control the sale of offices and to raise revenue. The book concludes by assessing the legacy of Brevets de Retenue and their significance for understanding the history of French public finance and the development of the modern state.
