An eight-volume set of this French-language history of the press in France, in attractive half-morocco bindings. Written by Eugene Hatin, a noted French historian, journalist and bibliographer of the Nineteenth Century, the volumes make for a comprehensive and detailed history of French journalism, and were considered to have little foreign equivalent at the time. Including sections on the origins of newspapers in France and the use of political posters, the work generally takes a chronological approach, detailing the impact that the press would have on the French Revolution, The French Empire and the Bourbon Restoration, and up until the political upheavals of 1848. Includes the institutional bookplate of Bibliotheque Guille-Alles to boards, a French library in Guernsey, as well as a folding library label of the same establishment to pastedown of volume seven. In decorative leather bindings with gilt detailing and paper-covered boards. Externally quite smart, there is some wear to the joints, backstrips, and extremities, as well as minor rubbing to certain volumes. There are institutional bookplates adhered to boards, with ink inscriptions on each, and labels adhered to backstrips. Internally, the pages are firmly bound and are largely bright and clean, although there are instances of spotting and foxing throughout. There is a folding library label to pastedown of volume seven, and institutional labels to each of the other volumes. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
