Charles Dupin was first and foremost a brilliant geometer and skilled naval engineer, his mathematical research was important (Dupin's theorem). He began his political career under the Restoration and was sent to England (he made several trips there) for the purpose of spying on the English naval arsenal. He published a study entitled Forces militaires de la Grande Bretagne and knew England very well. Dominique de Pradt was a political writer, in addition to his reflection on the powers of England and Russia, he published a parallel between America and Europe. The text is an important, enlightened testimony on the situation of Europe in 1823.

Collection of 4 pamphlets relating to the very beginning of the Restoration. The first 3 are in second edition while the fourth text is in first edition.
Near-contemporary half sheep binding. Smooth spine with fillets. Tears with lacks to head. Upper joint widely split at tail.
The first text, by a convinced Bourbon supporter, narrates Napoleon's return to Paris and the king's flight. The second addresses a plea to the king on the sale of national property carried out since the Revolution. The third text examines under public law the question of the alienation of émigrés' property and their restitution. The last text narrates in a lyrical style those émigrés who were the king and his court in 1815. It goes without saying that all authors condemn Napoleon Bonaparte without reservation in the strongest terms.
