FIRST EDITION. 2 vols. Half titles. Much of the text-block of vol. I has been heavily creased at some time. Orig. blue cloth, boards & spines blocked in black, spines lettered in gilt. Apart from sl. signs of removal of small labels to spines, a nice bright copy. Not in Sadleir or Wolff; BL only on Copac. A tale of the siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-71. A review of the book in The Tablet comments that 'though M.Valmont calls his work a novel, there is enough of truth woven into the story to make it appear more of the nature of an historical romance'.
