They are Carlyle's book and . Michelet's. Carlyle wrote his French Revolution as a secular 'tract for the times' and as a warning for his compatriots of the frightful consequences of materialism utilitarianism and democracy. The book at once captured the English-speaking world and has outside France moulded the popular conception of the French Revolution down to the present day" PMM.<br/><br/>Edmund Joseph Sullivan 1869-1933 was a British book illustrator who worked in a style which merged the British tradition of illustration from the 1860s with aspects of Art Nouveau. He was only 20 years old when he began contributing to various magazines including the Daily Chronicle The Daily Graphic The Pall Mall Gazette and Punch magazine. He soon graduated to the more prestigious role of book illustrator. Sullivan's style is comparable to that of Aubrey Beardsley but is more romantic without Beardley's acerbic attitude. <br/><br/>PMM 304 for the true first edition. Chapman and Hall unknown books
