In the year 1788 this province in southeastern France became one of the major centres of the pre-revolution. The parlements resisted the reforms and this led to the May Edicts which disbanded the parlements. The reaction was violent and although suppressed it was significant. Its significance was in the assemblies that followed and which called for the return of the parlement, the convocation of the ancient estats and for the convocation of the Estates General. The assembly in Romans (and these volumes contain the proceedings of its meetings) drafted a constitution for the forthcoming provincial estates, it established an estates with twenty-four clergy, forty-eight nobles and seventy-two members of the third estate. Deliberation was to be in common, with vote by head. The constitution built an entire system of provincial government, with an estates meeting regularly every year. The proceedings were edited by J.J. Mounier. - The volumes 1-2 are large paper copies from the library of Charles Jaillet, Viennois, with his bookplate. Rare in this complete state.
