Description: Paris, Librairie Plon, 1888-1897. Cloth. The definitive history of the July Monarchy. Crowned twice by the French Academy in 1885 and 1886 with the Grand Prix Gobert award. The July Monarchy (1830-1848) was a period of liberal monarchy rule of France under Louis-Philippe and was the result of the overthrow of the French Bourbon Monarchy in the July Revolution, which defeated Charles X of the House of Bourbon.

Paul Thureau-Dangin (1837 -1913), member of the French Academy, was a historian of the reign of Louis-Philippe and also of the revival of Catholic thought (in the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England) in nineteenth century Britain. in cloth bindings with marbled boards.
