"This book provides a detailed account of the Third Republic in France between the outbreak and conduct of the First World War and the fall of Leon Blum's 'Front Populaire' soon after Hitler's invasion and annexation of Austria in 1938. Following the trauma of war France slipped into the 'era of illusions' which despite the comparative prosperity of the 1920s led to the slump and the severe social and economic unrest of the 1930S. The short-lived experiment of Blum's 'Front Populaire' gave way to more conservatively based ministries but by 1938 a new common enemy began to draw together the political opinion of the country."--WorldCat.

Eighteenth-century French dark blue Jansenist goatskin spine with red morocco gilt lettering-piece gilt edges turn-ins gold-tooled brocade paper endpapers with multiple colored stencilling on a gauffered gold ground; joints and extremities rubbed. Provenance: Martine-Marie-Pol de Béhague comtesse de Béarn 1870-1939 by inheritance to her nephew Hubert de Ganay and thence to his heirs; bookplate with initials H H. First Edition of this translation of St. Augustine's De spiritu et littera by the Academician Philippe Dubois or Dubois-Goibaud who also translated the Confessions. The Approbation dated 8 August 1697 is followed by a royal privilege dated January 1698 to an anonymous libraire who soon after transferred the privilege to the Royal Printer Jean-Baptiste Coignard II. Coignard finished the printing on 23 December 1699. The book's sober undecorated covers the mark of the so-called janséniste style open to reveal exuberantly colored German floral endpapers. Called "papier doré gauffré" in French brocade paper was a specialty of Augsburg and Nürnberg and was probably first produced by engravers or goldsmiths. The pattern was printed either in negative relief with the motifs in intaglio so that the "gold" leaf actually a mixture of brass and an alloy of copper tin zinc and sometimes lead appears as the ground as here; or in positive relief usually showing the patterns in gold on a colored ground. The colors were applied successively using stencils usually cut in oiled paper or in thin metal sheets. Cf. C. Kopylov Papiers dorés d'Allemagne au siècle des Lumières 2012 pp. 17-19.
