MOCHNACKI Maurycy - The Rise of the Polish Nation, in the Years 1830 and 1831. vol. 1-2. Paris 1834. druk. P. Baudouin. 16d, pp. [10], 698, [1]; [4], 816, [7]. Opr. somewhat late fawn.
In places characteristic browning of paper, small trace of dampness in upper margin of first cat. vol. 1. Ex. uncut. On spines gilded titling, marbled lining. Edition I. A picture of the November Uprising led up to 25 I 1831. one of the most important works by M. Mochnacki. "It had a powerful effect on the first generation of readers in exile and at home, and still counts in historiography today [...]. [The author] most strongly accuses Lubecki and Chłopicki, speaks not without respect about Rev. A. Czartoryski, much more critically about the Sejm and the Kalisz party, quite ironically about Lelewel" (PSB).
