Gabriel-Honoré Riquetti, comte de Mirabeau to William Temple Franklin, September 19, 1784

Gabriel-Honoré Riquetti, comte de Mirabeau, writes to William Temple Franklin seeking assistance in finding a London bookseller willing to co-publish a French and English edition of a work, preferably sharing financial risk to avoid upfront costs. He expresses concern over the difficulty of publishing due to cautious booksellers and the expense of producing bilingual editions. Mirabeau mentions a recommendation for the bookseller De Bret in Piccadilly as a potential partner.
