La MINERVE FRANÇAISE. Paris, Bureau de la Minerve Française, February 1818-February 1820, 9 volumes (followed by). MERCURE DE FRANCE. [Tomes 3 à 5]. Paris, Administration du Mercure, 1817-1818, 3 volumes. Comprising 2 works in 12 volumes 13 by 21.5 cm. Contemporary fawn half-basane, smooth spine, ex. untrimmed. Minor binding defects, some scattered foxing. Royal stamps on many pages of volumes 9 to 12. 1) All issues of this famous periodical. Cat. périodique B.N. III-p. 536; Yvert, Politique libérale, biblio. sélective 23; Hatin, Biblio. de la presse p. 342. "Minerve française (La), French periodical collection published from February 1818 to [February] 1820. It was founded by publicists of the liberal party to replace the Mercure de France, stripped of its privilege. It appeared in weekly installments, dealing more with politics than literature, and professing the same independent principles in both. La Minerve's main editors were Benjamin Constant, Jay, Etienne, Jouy, Tissot, Lacretelle and others. The capital piece, [apart from Benjamin Constant's articles], was the Lettres d'Etienne, who took pleasure in seeking out the news from Paris in foreign newspapers, and transcribing from English things that one would not have dared to insert at first in a French gazette. The liveliness with which La Minerve supported the struggle against the powers that be has led to it being called "the Menippean satire of the Restoration". La politique" remained, at least until his election as deputy for Sarthe on March 26, 1819, the work of Constant, who published a total of 99 articles. It includes some of his best texts, notably the "Lettres sur les Cent-Jours", published for the first time (see issue 56), and his analysis of Madame de Staël's "Considérations" (see next issue). 2) Last three volumes (out of 5 published) of the Mercure de France. These three volumes cover the period from July 5, 1817 to January 1818. At the end of the last volume, we have bound some of the issues of volume II (May 31, 1817 to June 1817). Volume V is extremely rare. The first volume appeared in January 1817. "First major liberal periodical since the Hundred Days." Its principal editor was Benjamin Constant. Following volume 9 of La Minerve, we have bound the 11th volume of Lettres Normandes, sent to subscribers of La Minerve Française to complete their subscription (cf. Hatin p. 336).
