About This Item
Porto and Braga, Livraria Internacional / Ernesto Chardron, 1871.. First Edition in Portuguese. 8°, original pink printed wrappers (faded and with minor stains). Overall in very good condition. 24 pp. *** First and Only Edition in Portuguese? Laboulaye (Paris, 1811-Paris, 1883) was a great admirer of the United States Constitution; his 3-volume history of the United States was published in 1855-1866. During the American Civil War he was a strong proponent of the abolition of slavery. In 1865 it was Laboulaye who proposed the monument to freedom that was designed by his friend, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and dedicated as the Statue of Liberty. After the Paris Commune of 1870, Laboulaye was chosen to represent the département of the Seine, and helped establish the Third Republic. This essay was written to the director of the Journal de Lyon in response to the latter's question of what system of government would best guarantee the independence of France from foreign domination and also protect the country's liberties and political institutions.*** Not located in Porbase, which lists many other translations of works by this author.
