MARIE-ANTOINETTE. "King's Edict (Louis XVI) concerning the duties of Treasurer-General & Controllers General of THE QUEEN'S HOUSE." Our dearest wife and companion. Given to Versailles in October 1781. "«... These Treasurer's Charges are an essential part of the Queen's House, fixed and determined by our Marriage Contract, in accordance with what has always been observed for the Houses of the Dolphins & Queens of France & would wound both our justice and the dignity of the said Queen; the good of our Service & that of Her House may allow us to suspend the exercise of some Charges which belong to the said Queen, but not their removal...". - Printed in Paris, by P.G. Simon, 1782; 4pp in-4° -
