L.L. [Albertani, Giuseppe] - Eccitamento Di Un Vero Patriota Sopra L'Ultimo Scritto Delli Fratelli Contarini Qu. Carlo

[Venezia], (Dalle stampe del cittadino Isidoro Borghi a S. Samuel), 1797. Self wrappers. 4 pp. 16mo. An anonymous attack on the brothers Contarini, a powerful Venetian family during the fall of the Venetian empire, by Giuseppe Albertani, a lawyer. Of them he says: "And could you have seen them without horror, without indignation? Where are the laws? Where is the Public Vigilance: Where is the Criminal Justice?.. equally despised in the old, who in the new Government may impose order with impunity; violate the maxims; to attack the Public tranquility?" The Contarini's responded with their own pamphlet the same year "Libertà. Virtù. Eguaglianza. Verità resa nota alli fratelli Contarini .. ed al pubblico," attributing the first work to Albertini. Rare. None at auction. OCLC locates only two copies: Univ. Conn and BN France. Very good, cropped closely with loss of a few letters at the top of second page, spine split at tail, faint foxing, with the number "3" inked in first page.
