BOOK HARDCOVER. Librairie de L. Hachette et Cie à Paris,1858, In 12 (18 x 11,5 cm), XII + 428 pages. Reliure demi chagrin rouge, dos à nerfs, filets, fleurons et titre dorés. +++++++ Ouvrage sur le peuple algérien à l'époque des premiers temps de la colonisation, de son organisation et de ses moeurs, la première édition datant de 1853 chez le même éditeur au même format portatif. L'auteur Melchior Joseph Eugène Daumas (1803-1871) résida pour le gouvernement français en Algérie, apprit l'arabe et occupa de nombreuses fonctions dans les organisations coloniale et militaire entre 1835 et 1850 : participation aux campagnes de Mascara et de Tlemcen, consul à Mascara auprès de l'émir Abd El-Kader, directeur des affaires arabes dans la province d'Oran, directeur des affaires de l'Algérie, puis de retour en France directeur des affaires de l'Algérie au ministère de la Guerre. L'ouvrage très structuré en trois parties (Tell, Kabylie, Sahara) permet une approche sélective qui nous livre une vision assez moderne, les descriptions pragmatiques souvent amusantes restant proches des ambitions algériennes de la France ; on trouve cependant dans ce texte une certaine forme de "collaboration" ou compréhension des populations locales, donnant à l'ensemble de l'ouvrage une approche de pré-ethnographie - Reliure en très bon état, intérieur frais, infimes rousseurs pâles sur les gardes, Bel exemplaire.…
