[Turkey]. CHENIER, Louis de. Revolutions in the Ottoman Empire... Paris: published by the author [and] Bailly, 1789. 8vo, (2) folios, XL-388 pp. Contemporary fawn-colored sheepskin with grain, smooth spine decorated with gilt panels, fawn-colored title label, cold-tooled fillet framing the title label, gilt roulette on the edges (caps and spine slightly rubbed, a small wormhole on the spine, stains on the lower cover, slight marginal foxing on the first folios; one endpaper missing). Rare first edition. An important work devoted to the history and politics of the Ottoman Empire. Louis de Chénier (1722–1796), father of the poet André, a supporter of the Revolution and French consul under Louis XVI, interprets in this work the revolt that overthrew Ahmed III as an uprising by an impoverished population against rulers deemed extravagant and wasteful.
