Description: Jersey printed by C. Le Feuvre 1859. 18x12cm contemporary half calf (a bit rubbed) and mottled boards. Red Japanese seal on the title page; some browning but nothing serious. ¶ Yet another troublesome Frenchman of the 1840s. This is Faure's journal of fighting on the barricades in 1848. He turned journalist after this and caused even more trouble, winding up in exile in London and Jersey after a failed insurrection against Louis Napoleon's 1851 coup. His friend Desmoulins published this, augmented with contributions by a squadron of his illustrious fellow exiles after his death at 33 in 1856.
