Posthumously published, i.a. describing the flora and fauna of Ceylon. "Importance of Haafner's eyewitness accounts is that they were done during the time of decay of the VOC. (...) Haafner was an anti-colonialist, a man before his time, for his ideas were not to be topical until more than a century had elapsed." (De Silva).

= Sinica Leidensia, Institutum Sinologicum Lugduno-Batavum Vol. X. Originally composed in 1211 by the lawyer Kuei Wan-Joeng. Kuei lists 144 different cases of which a great deal inspired Van Gulik while searching plots and side-plots in his Judge Dee crime novels. "Toen ik naar 'plots' zocht voor mijn eerste drie Rechter Tie-romans, had ik oude Chinese misdaadliteratuur geconsulteerd. Daardoor had ik een 13de eeuws handboek van jurisprudentie en misdaaddetectie gevonden, de T'ang-yin-pi-shih [Vergelijkbare Gevallen onder de Pereboom]. Aangezien mijn bibliotheek was opgeslagen, kon ik mij niet aan ingewikkeld sinologisch onderzoek wijden; en omdat dit handboek kon worden behandeld zonder andere bronnen te raadplegen, koos ik het als onderwerp van studie." (Barkman/ De Vries-van der Hoeven p.215). Very rare, especially in the hardbound edition.

76 976 Economics Darigrand E F 
= Early edition, without Réponse aux objets des remontrances du Parlement de Bordeaux at the end, which was included from the second issue onwards. Barbier I, 214a. This edition in Kress Supplement S.2249 (but w. sl. different pagination); cf. Goldsmiths 9873-9874; cf. Einaudi 1431 and Higgs 3017-3018). Very rare. "(...) né pauvre, avait d'abord rempli des fonctions subalternes dans les gabelles; mais, n'ayant point obtenu l'avancement que méritaient ses services et ses talents, il quitta son emploi, et se fit recevoir, en 1761, avocat au parlement de Paris. Mettant à profit les connaissances qu'il avait de la maltôte, il défendit devant la cour des aides, et souvent avec succès, les malheureux fraudeurs poursuivis à la requête des fermiers généraux; mais il ne s'en tint pas là. Darigrand signale tous les abus résultant du système des fermes dans un petit écrit intitulé: l'Antifinancier (...); cette brochure (...) fit beaucoup de bruit à sa publication, et l'auteur fut mis à la Bastille. Il en sortit plus animé contre ses irréconciliables ennemis, et ne cessa de les poursuivre jusqu'a sa mort, arrivée au mois d'octobre 1771" (Biogr. Univ. VI, 43).
