LAMENNAIS (Félicité de). Words of a believer. 1833. Paris, E - Lot 197
LAMENNAIS (Félicité de). Words of a believer. 1833. Paris, Eugène Renduel, 1834. In-8, havana half-maroquin with corners, spine decorated throughout with gilt fillets and cold garland, black parts, marbled paper cover, gilt head, untrimmed (Binding circa 1900).
First edition of this often-repeated work.
It is the cry of a conscience outraged by the compromises of many members of the hierarchy, by the Holy See's condemnation of the aspirations of peoples to their freedom, and by its attitude to the savage repression by the Russians of the uprising in Catholic Poland in 1830-1831 (En français dans le texte, n°251).
A fine copy.
