Title: Les lettres de cachet à Paris. Etude suivie d'une liste des prisonniers de la Bastille (1659 - 1789)
Description: Paris, IMPRIMERIE NATIONALE, 1903. LIII+482 pages. Extensive and very interesting list of the inmates of the Bastille: how long they were kept and for what reasons, e.g. drawings against religion, the state and “les bonnes moeurs” (p. 199). One prisoner whose name is unknown and who was arrested by mistake in someone else’s place was speedily released (p. 11). Not a few arrest orders signed by ministers who would themselves be arrested and kept in the Bastille: either later or before. (code W-73)
