Juchereau de Saint-Denys (Baron de)

History of the Ottoman Empire from 1792 to 1844.

Paris, at Guiraudet & Jouaust, at the Counter of the United Printers, 1844.

4 volumes in-8 (21 x 13 cm), half leather (period binding), smooth decorated spine, xxiii-[1]-439; [2]-404; [4]-415; [4]-344 pages (complete). Foxing, brown stain on the upper margin of the last 100 pages of volume II. Overall very good condition.

Original illustrated edition of lithographed portrait frontispieces by Fromentin of Selim III, Mahmud II, and Abdul Medjid.

This well-documented work contains an autobiographical section, which Juchereau de Saint-Denis (1776-1850), former director of military engineering under Selim III, first recounted in 1819 in his Revolutions of Constantinople.

Pleasant specimen.
