French language. Four of four volumes, complete. Full tree calf binding with two spine labels, gilt decor, marbled endpapers and marbled edges. Fourth Edition - An XIII-1805. "Magistrat, il fut exilé pour sa résistance à Maupeou ; il émigra dès 1789, mais son dénuement l’obligea à rentrer en France en 1801 ; il fut ministre d’État et Directeur général des Postes en 1814, pair de France et membre du Conseil privé en 1815. Poète, historien politique et auteur dramatique, il publia des tragédies qui ne furent pas représentées et l'Esprit de l'Histoire, ouvrage en quatre volumes, qui fut poursuivi, fit prime et eut six éditions." - l'Académie Française. Two pages of publisher's advertisements at end of volume 4 (unpaged). Custom bookplates of prominent Baltimore lawyer George Weems Williams and his wife Anne M Wagner Williams. Classic example of history written by winners. Ferrand began this work as an emigre, and favored power over liberty, stability over revolution, thus this work was an influential history text during Napoleon's time as well as during the Bourbon restoration.
