An attractive edition of this classic account of the French Revolution by the historian and statesman Adolphe Thiers (1797-1877), President of France from 1871 to 1873 under the Third Republic. Illustrated with 51 hand-coloured steel-engraved plates.

Thiers was the dominating Republican politician of the nineteenth century, a key participant in both the July Revolution of 1830, which overthrew the Bourbon monarch King Charles X in favour of his liberal cousin Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans, and the Revolution of 1848, which overthrew the July Monarchy and established the Second French Republic. He served as a prime minister in 1836 and 1840, dedicated the Arc de Triomphe, and arranged the return to France of the remains of Napoleon from Saint-Helena.

5 vols; 8vo (22 x 14.5 cm); 51 hand-coloured steel-engraved plates; contemporary half calf, marbled boards ruled in gilt, gilt spines in 6 compartments, contrasting green morocco lettering-pieces, marbled edges, spines slightly faded, a little rubbed, very good.
