Paris MERCIER (Louis-Sébastien) The New Paris. Paris, Fuchs ; Pougens ; Cramer [1800]. 6 volumes in 3 volumes in-8 : 1f., XXXVIII, 220pp. - 254pp. / 1f. 248pp. - 256pp. / 1f. 256pp. - 252pp. Minor spotting in places, some leaves slightly browned. Copy with full margins. Bradel-style tan boards, smooth spines, black headpieces, gilt fillets, corners dulled. True first edition of this book considered as the author's masterpiece. Mercier, just out of the jails of the Terror, began to retrace his memories of the Convention and to note the new mores, the resurrection of the joyful and corrupt life which marks the Directory... It is impossible to grasp the spirit of the Revolution (characters, excesses, follies, mores, atmosphere) if one has not read Mercier.
