He directed the SFIO’s training school and played an active role in the centennial commemorations of the 1848 Revolution. Stitched covers and slipcases; minor wear to the covers of Volumes VIII and IX; otherwise, good condition.

From the library of Vincent AURIOL (1884–1966), former President of the French Republic, bearing his engraved bookplate or his initials in gold on the spines.
