Paris, Émile-Paul, 1907, small in-8, IX-397 pp. index, red half-maroquin, ribbed spine, gilt head (period binding). Tulard, 962: "Sister of Chateaubriand, she recorded in her diary all the events of 1814, from February 11th to May 3rd, the day Louis XVIII entered Paris. Despite its royalist bias, this document is an important source on the public spirit in the capital in the last days of the Empire." Followed by Underwood's Diary (p. 95-397) Tulard 1440: "A painter who returned to France after the breakdown of the Peace of Amiens, he was associated with Josephine, Isabey and Marmont. His diary covers the months of January, February, March and April 1814. Remarkably well-informed (the author always indicates the nature of his sources), it sheds light on the state of mind in Paris at the time of the fall of the Empire." Publisher's letter. A fine copy.
