8vo, 12–402 pages, marbled sheepskin, decorated ribbed spine, red edges (contemporary binding).
A new edition, revised and corrected by the author, featuring a substantial chapter on the books preserved in 2440 in the cupboards of the King’s Library!
This famous and pioneering work of speculative fiction also depicts Paris in the 25th century as a magnificent city, free from all the ills of the Ancien Régime. A fine copy. (Barbier I, 161).
