HISTORICAL YEARBOOK FOR THE YEAR 1856. Published by the Société de l'Histoire de France. 20th year. Paris, Jules Renouard et Cie, 1855. In-12, bottle-green half-maroquin, ribbed spine decorated with gold fillets, marbled paper covers. An important annual publication of the Société de l’Histoire de France, founded during the July Monarchy to promote the critical study of French historical sources. This yearbook serves as a valuable reference tool for 19th-century scholars, bringing together historical entries, genealogies, chronologies, bibliographies, and information regarding the great families of France, as well as works published by the Society. This volume, marking the publication’s twentieth year, attests to the maturity of this scholarly endeavor, which has become an indispensable reference for historians, archivists, and genealogists. It notably features numerous entries devoted to princely lineages and French noble families, accompanied by carefully compiled biographical and historical notes. A copy bound in period bottle-green half-maroquin. Complete and fresh interior, with paper showing little yellowing. A few scattered foxing spots and normal signs of use. The binding is sturdy despite some scuffing on the head and foot bands, as well as minor wear on the marbled covers. A representative work of French historical scholarship from the Second Empire and a publication sought after by collectors of French history, genealogy, and historical bibliography.
