Gd in-8, lxxxviii, 284 p., glazed lavaliere half-calf with corners, ornate ribbed spine, double gilt fillet on spines, gilt head. Copy on BFK de Rives. To mark the centenary of the French Revolution, several French regions held provincial assemblies, whose delegates met in Paris for a general assembly. Despite a certain bias (the regional delegates were appointed from among the great bourgeoisie and aristocrats), this collection offers an original look at the citizens' debates of 1889. Large epidermis on one corner, other minor defects.
