Rare work of great historical-political interest. Filippo De Boni (1816-1870), Mazzinian patriot, journalist and writer, publishes in Lausanne – just a few months after the events – the most complete contemporary collection of official documents, treaties, decrees and writings relating to the annexation of the Free City of Kraków by Austria (1846). The long and passionate Preliminary Discourse is a real republican pamphlet in defense of Polish independence and against the great powers. It contains, among other things, the acts of the Congress of Vienna, the treaties of 1815, the Austrian imperial decrees, lists of victims of the massacres in Galicia and numerous European press articles of the time. Original edition, not easy to obtain on the antiquarian market.
