Lacretelle, Charles & J. P. Rabaut.

Précis Historique de la Révolution Francaise [Six Volumes].

Paris et Strasbourg: Treuttel et Wurtz, 1803-1815. A mixed edition of this early history of the French Revolution. It follows on from "l'Almanach de la Révolution de Rabaut de Saint-Etienne" who wrote the first volume in this Precis. He was a moderate revolutionary who involved in the framing of the constitution - guillotined in 1793. Lacretelle was a historian whose monarchist sympathies placed him in danger. Influential connections & hiding out in prison enabled him to avoid execution, surviving until Napoleon and he lived until 1855.

16mo, complete with 16 plates, untrimmed foredge and lower edge. Bound in a pleasant later navy buckram binding with gilt titles on the spine.
