Paris, Librairie du Constitutionnel, 1854–1855. 8 volumes, in-12 format, each bound in pine-green half-shagreen, ribbed spine, with triple gilt fillet framing the panels. Approximately 400 pages per volume. Minor signs of wear, one page discoloured in volume 8 (p. 65). First edition in in-12 format, published in the same year as the original. [Vicaire IV, 1009]. Lamartine traces the history of the Turks from their origins in Central Asia up to the 19th century.
