BOUTMY, Emile || RIBOT, Alexandre. 

Cours d'Histoire Constitutionnelle donnés à l'École libre des sciences politiques. 

s.l., s.n., 1886.
More Details >
2000 €

Original manuscripts.
Rare and well-preserved set of two constitutional history courses given at Sciences Po Paris in 1886 by the founders of the school: Emile Boutmy and Alexandre Ribot.
Perfectly readable and careful manuscripts by a writer who will remain unknown who was a listener of Emile Boutmy's course on the Constitution of the United States in May-June 1886 and the course on the French Constitution since 1789 given by Alexandre Ribot in February-March 1886.
Created by Emile Boutmy in the aftermath of the 1870 defeat and the Paris Commune, the École Libre des Sciences Politiques (now known as Sciences-Po) aimed to teach political science as a positive science. She will form the elite of french politicians until today.
1886 was the last year in which Boutmy gave his course on the Constitution of the United States; we know a transcription of it in the notes left by Pierre de Coubertin who was also a listener of this course the same year. A comparison of the transcription of Coubertin's notes and our manuscript leads us to believe that our collection is more faithful (seems to be a word for word transcription) of Boutmy's teaching.

Alexandre Ribot's course on the French Constitution (second part of a more extensive course on European constitutions) leaves an important part on the birth of the Third Republic whose constitutional laws were only passed in 1875.

First edition.
Masterpiece of 19th century photography.

200 biographical chapters of 132 historical figures.

Copy complete with all the required notices and photographs.
Each chapter has 4 pages of text (8 for Corot 2 and Corot 3).

The series is therefore complete with the 200 entries for 132 biographies and is illustrated with 267 photographs:
- 131 portraits (65 in full-page and 66 in medallion in text)
- 136 reproductions of art works (135 in full-page and 1 in medallion the text).

Coming from the greatest photographic workshops (Nadar, Carjat, Goupil, Petit...) they are reproduced by photoglypie which is then the only printing process allowing such a faithful reproduction of photographic plates.

The portraits include the famous portrait of Baudelaire by Carjat but also those of Victor Hugo, Gustave Doré, Edmond de Goncourt, Ferdinand de Lesseps, Georges Sand, Sarah Bernhardt, Alexandre Dumas, Gustave Eiffel, Victor Hugo, Louis Pasteur, Emile Zola, ...
We added a rare "specimen" volume ( a commercial presentation volume).

Cham, pseudonym of Amédée de Noé (1818-1879), is a French illustrator, caricaturist and playwright known and recognized.
This book is atypical and at the opposite of those received in schools!
It is a collection of very humorous illustrations, which are about the principles of Physics. With its simple, fast, sharp and precise style, Cham manages to make readers laugh about serious areas in the different fields of this science.
