Back to false nerves adorned with four emblems of French royalty: the salamander, the sun, dolphins and a crescent moon. Plates adorned with a large green and gold plate bearing in medallions the figures of several kings, against a background of green foliage. White moiré guards. Some slight traces of friction in caps and bits and on the boards, as well as on the edges and on the corners, otherwise, magnificent copy , in a superb condition, perfectly fresh, with very white, immaculate paper (in spite of sometimes pale foxing scattered scattered in the margins).
Minister of Public Education, Guizot played a key role in the history of education and this book is the fruit of his reflections.
