From the library - recently dispersed - of the Marquesses of Lothian who also held the Earldom of Ancram at Newbattle Abbey with contemporary ownership inscriptions of Lady Ancram to majority of wrappers. A near unbroken run in original state and with evidence of contemporary female ownership of Genevan- born French political journalist and Counter-Revolutionary reformer Jacques Mallet du Pan's 1749-1800 semi-monthly journal on Swiss independence and European political affairs during the period of Napoleonic expansion; widely considered to be one of the most insightful contemporary works on the internal - and external policy - of the Directory. Mallet du Pan was along with Edmund Burke and Joseph de Maistre an important theorist of the conservative reaction to the French Revolution. He began editing the Mercure de France a leading literary journal in 1784. In 1792 he left the country at the behest of Louis XVI to contact other monarchs opposed to the Revolution. His Considérations sur la nature de la révolution de France 1793 drew wide attention in Europe for its critique of the Revolution and Mallet du Pan became a prominent advisor to those governments which opposed France. In 1797 he was forced to leave the Continent for London from where he began to publish Mercure Britannique. Nos. 1-3 include a political history of Switzerland; subsequent numbers analyse country by country current political events in Europe. Great Britain is discussed last in each issue and often heaped with praise. The last issues contain an analysis of 18 Brumaire and the beginnings of the Consulate although death rudely prevented Mallet du Pan from completing the work. Vol. 5 concludes with an appeal for funds to aid the cause of Swiss independence and an account of Mallet du Pan’s death and funeral. The periodical was issued concurrently in Italian German and English editions in western Europe Britain and Ireland. The British Critic February 1799 praised Mallet du Pan's efforts concluding: '.to the whole we give our strongest recommendation as a most able periodical history of the most interesting and alarming series of events and situations in which polished society has ever been placed.'
