8vo: [iv] + 48 pp. Stabbed as issued. In modern brown paper wraps. Good, on lightly aged paper. Beneath the author's name on title-page: 'Dedicated to the District of PETIT ST. ANTOINE, and translated into English by a French Gentleman, many Years resident in England.' P.[iii] carries 'THE TRANSLATOR'S ADVERTISEMENT.', beginning: 'AN imperfect and unsatisfactory account of the disturbances at Paris, having appeared in the Newspapers, either owing to the editors' hurry in inserting false reports, or to their correspondents abroad being misinformed, I beg leave to submit to the public in general the translation of a pamphlet published in Paris, under the immediate inspection of the Standing-Committee at the Mansion-House.' Attributed to de Courtive by Maurice Tourneux ('Bibliographie de l'Histoire de Paris pendant la Revolution', 1890). A near-contemporaneous eyewitness account of events in the first year of the French Revolution, and scarce: no copy in the British Library, and the only copy on COPAC at Liverpool.
