Geneva; Paris, Les Libraires, 1791-1794. 12 volumes in-12 in continuous pagination; illustrated with 31 copper-engraved plates out of text (12 in frontispieces (11 of which are double compartment)). One of them represents the execution of Charlotte Corday. Paperback, under soft pink covers of the time, title and month vignettes on spine. Copy with all margins. Very rare first edition; fascinating work of Restif on the mores during the Revolution.
