Description

NANCY. - LÉONARD (M. de). Relation exacte et impartiale de ce qui s'est passé à Nancy, le 31 août et les jours précédens ; avec détail circonstancié des événemens qui ont précédé et accompagné l'insurrection de la Garnison et d'une partie de la Garde citoyenne. Nancy, Mme Henry ; Paris, Le Tellier et Cuchet ; Metz, Collignon ; Strasbourg, Treuttel, 1790. In-4, eggplant morocco half-basane, smooth spine decorated, speckled edges (Binding circa 1820). First edition of the main historical source on the Nancy mutiny, by far the most serious military uprising of the Revolution. The author of this account, an officer in the Mestre-de-Camp-Général de la Cavalerie regiment, "had the courage to present the truth and indicate the causes that finally caused streams of blood to flow in Nancy". The rebellion led to the suppression of the local national guard, the closure of the Jacobin club in Nancy, numerous capital executions and sentences to the galleys. Spine faded, otherwise a pleasant copy.
