[HISTORY - SWITZERLAND] - CRÉTINEAU-JOLY, Jacques History of the Sonderbund Paris, Plon Frères, 1850, 2 volumes In-8°. Contemporary brown half-maroquin. Smooth, decorated spine. Stamp at the bottom of the spine of volume 2. Foxing. First edition of this passionate and thoroughly researched study of the Sonderbund civil war that tore Switzerland apart in 1847. A journalist, historian, and fervent defender of the Catholic legitimist cause, Jacques Crétineau-Joly resolutely sides with the league of the seven Catholic cantons against the radicalized forces of the Federal Diet. This work of intellectual combat draws on numerous official and diplomatic documents, constituting an essential—albeit biased—analysis of the founding event of modern Switzerland.
