241-MALLET DU PAN (Jacques). Memoirs and correspondence, for use in the history of the French Revolution. Collected and arranged by A. Sayous. Paris, Amyot et Cherbuliez, 1851, 2 vol. in-8, XII-464 pp. and 512 pp. in blue half-maroquin with corners, ribbed spine, monogram at foot, gilt head (later binding). First edition. "The great Swiss publicist Mallet du Pan did not write any real memoirs. He kept a diary during his stay in Paris. It is from this diary, and above all from his numerous political writings, that Sayous has written what is more a biography of Mallet du Pan than an edition of his publications. This work is nonetheless of great importance, as Mallet du Pan's judgment was exceptionally sound" (Fierro, 941). A fine copy. Rousseurs.
