Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Paporet de Maxilly was the member of a family of Parisian magistrates, who was ennobled during the reign of Louis XV of France with the honorary title of "Secretaire du Roi." The letters seem to pertain to the fiscal and judicial administration, chiefly in the 1770s and 1780s, of landed estates in Aubusson, Guéret, and other places in the Départment de Creuse, located about 200 miles south of Paris. The letters were sent by Étienne Martinon, Michel de la Chabans, Françis Xavier Rochon de Valette, and other local officials. For information about Antoine Paporet de Maxilly and his family, see Christine Favre-LeJeune, Les Secrétaires du Roi de la grande Chancellerie de France (Paris: Sedopols, 1986), vol. 2, 1034 (call # DC131.8.F39).
