Nicolas De La Mare: Seventh Plan Of The City Of Paris 1705

Map from : Traité de la Police
In 1667, Lamoignon, first president of the Parliament of Paris, suggested to Nicolas de La Mare to write a book exposing the police methods applicable in a big city. La Reynie opened all the archives he needed to write it, and Étienne Baluze gave him access to Colbert's rich library. Le Traité de la Police was published from 1705 to 1738, the first three volumes of the author's lifetime (he was aging, he received the help of Lecler du Brillet, King's Attorney at the Admiralty, to write the fourth and last volume , published posthumously in 1738).
