In-8, broché, couverture papier bleu moderne, (1) f. de titre, xvi, 582 p., (1) f. d'errata, portrait de Louis XVI en frontispice. Edition originale de cet historique méthodique des premières années de la révolution, l’une des premières tentatives d’histoire générale de la Révolution française. Tourneux (n°24) indique que cet ouvrage pourrait être attribué à Jacques Dulaure, sans valider cette attribution. L'auteur qui eut l'ambition de donner une suite à cet ouvrage ne publia que cette partie seule. (Catalogue de l'histoire de France, X, 306. Tourneux, I, n°24). Un assignat de 25 sols, authentifié par deux cachets estampés à froid, est inséré en fin de volume. Petite réparation en marge du feuillet d'errata, avec perte de quelques caractères. Bon exemplaire.
In-8, broché, 7 p. Edition originale et unique. La découverture d'une médaille ancienne (vers 1580) dans un jardin près de Grenoble et l'ensemble des symboles qu'elle comportait, renvoyaient prophétiquement, en cette année d'Assemblée des Notables (1788), à la nécessité d'une étroite union entre Clergé, Noblesse et Tiers état. Sur la médaille, les trois ordres (Clergé - Noblesse - Plèbe / Concorde) sont représentés autour d'une colonne qui, s'ils venaient à se séparer serait renversée. Sur la colonne repose un Dauphin couronné, sous la devise "Hominum Amator": l'Ami des Hommes. Les deux faces de la médaille sont reproduites page 7. Parue sans nom d'auteur, la brochure est sans doute due à Letourneau qui avait consacré à cette médaille un article dans les "Affiches du Dauphiné" du 21 nov. 1788, p. 2. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 88:3455 qui identifie l'auteur. 'Répertoire des sources de la numismatique française', 1889, II, n°4025. Maignien, 'Bibliographie du Dauphiné pendant la Rév. Française', n°281). Très rare. Manque à la BnF qui ne possède qu'un fac-similé. Bon exemplaire, non rogné.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. Wrapper is repaired. Tape on spine. Chipped on last page. Other wise a good copy. Folio. (40 x 28 cm). In Ottoman script. 72 p., 14 cedvels (schemes) and [14] p. color statistics. Meclis-i Mebûsân Birinci devre 1325-1326 içtimai. 326 senesi muâzene-i umûmîsi hakkinda [.] kaleme alinan esbâb-i mûcibe mazbata-yi umûmîsi. Meclis-i Mebûsân (The Chamber of Deputies) of the Ottoman Empire was the lower house of the General Assembly, the Ottoman Parliament. Unlike to the upper house, the Senate, the members of the Chamber of Deputies were elected by the general Ottoman populace, although suffrage was limited to males of a certain financial standing, among other restrictions that varied over the Chamber's lifetime. The Second Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire began shortly after Abdul Hamid II was forced to restore the constitutional monarchy after the 1908 Young Turk Revolution. The period established many political groups and parties. Ahmet Riza became the first President of the Chamber in 1908. An amendment in 1909 to the original 1876 constitution resulted in the Chamber gaining more true political power at the expense of the non-democratically elected Senate and the Sultan. A series of elections during this period resulted in the gradual ascendance of the Committee of Union and Progress's (CUP) domination in politics. The second largest party Liberal Unionist Party (LU) (Turkish: Hürriyet ve Itilâf) was in fact a coalition of parties led by Prince Sabahaddin. This is a rare protocol register book of Meclis-i Mebûsân. First and Only Edition. Not in Özege.; Not in OCLC.
