About this Item
Description:
59pp. Modern half morocco and marbled boards. Minor tanning to text. Very good. The events of the French Revolution were followed with the keenest interest in America. As the excesses in France grew, American reaction split along emerging political lines, with the Federalists expressing revulsion while the Democrats were more supportive. The French Constitution of 1793 collapsed with the end of the Terror, and this new constitution, which created the Directory, was instituted. This is the first American edition in English of that new constitution, published by the Democratic grandson of Franklin, Benjamin Franklin Bache. Bache also published an edition in French the same year. It would have keenly interested the politicians of that year, both from a party and foreign relations viewpoint. The NUC locates eight copies.
