326-ROHAULT DE FLEURY (Hubert). Journal de l'expédition de Constantine en 1837, published by order of the Ministry of War. Paris, Ladrange, 1838, in-8, 46 pp. with 3 folding plates including 2 maps and a large lithograph, midnight blue half-maroquin, smooth spine, arms on front cover, gilt head (later binding). First edition of this official account, exclusively technical, with no political or other considerations: the second Constantine expedition was part of the operations designed to provide an inland base for French troops, who ultimately controlled only Algiers until 1835.
