Descrizione

8vo. 4 pp. on bifolium. Mounted to larger backing paper. According to a collector's note, these are "References" for his multi-volume work "The History of Europe From the Commencement of the French Revolution to the Restoration of the Bourbons" with passages in Latin, French and English: "At the siege of Toulon, horrible atrocities of the Republicans. They murdered an old man of 84 only because he had 18.000.000. Alors vraiment said Napoleon a un tel spectacle Je me crus a la fin du Monde [.]". - The "History of Europe" proved a huge commercial success: by 1848, 100,000 copies had been sold in the United States alone. It was translated into French, German, and even Arabic. - Added and mounted to the same backing paper is an autograph letter fragment signed by the judge and scholar Lord John Murray (1778-1859): "Yours very respectfully [.]".
