The first edition of 1810 was seized and almost entirely destroyed by order of Napoleon, which is why our copy in the 2nd edition is often considered to be the original, with the preface in which Madame de Staël relates the circumstances of her banishment. A fine copy. Printed and armorial bookplate of Count Nicolas T.
