For his views he was proscribed and had to leave France in 1797. In 1803 he returned, became permanent secretary of the Academie Francaise, and started a new journal. Then, having offended Napoleon, he gave up journalism in 1804. Bound together in light blue boards backed in a page of contemporary printed text. A few waterstains to cover, else fine. .
