L'Ecolier ou Raoul et Victor

Par Mme Guizot

Two volumes

1859 - Paris - Didier

7" x 5", 342, 339pp

 

DETAILS

Two leatherbound volumes with gilt titles to the spine, gilt foredge, and illustrated with engraved plates.

Madame Guizot was the mother of Francois Guizot (1787 - 1874), a French historian, orator, and statesman. She had great influence over Francois Guizot and was part of his circle of friends. In the days of his exile in 1848 she followed him to London, and there at a very advanced age died and was buried at Kensal Green.

Driven from Nîmes by the Revolution, Madame Guizot and her son went to Geneva, where he was educated. In spite of her decided Calvinistic opinions, the theories of Jean-Jacques Rousseau influenced Madame Guizot. She was a strong Liberal, and she even adopted the notion inculcated in Emile that every man ought to learn a manual trade or craft. Guizot was taught to be a carpenter, and succeeded in making a table with his own hands, which is still preserved. In the work which he entitled Memoirs of my own Times Guizot omitted all personal details of his earlier life. In 1805 he arrived in Paris and he entered at the age eighteen as tutor into the family of M. Stapfer, formerly Swiss minister in France, and he soon began to write in a journal edited by Suard, the Publiciste. This connection introduced him to the literary society of Paris.

CONDITION

The bindings are tight and firm with both covers and all pages attached. There is some mild wear to the extremities including bumping to the corners and rubbing to the boards and spine. Internally the pages of Volume 2 are generally clean and bright with the occasional handling mark and some slight spotting to the first and final few pages. The pages of Volume 1 are generally slightly more spotted and there is water staining to the bottom corner of the first half of the volume, which does affect a few of the plates. There is a signature on the front blank endpaper of each volume and a copperplate inscription to the half title page of Volume 2. Overall the volumes are in very good condition.
