Martin & Walter 14427. Rare in complete state with the 3rd part. Forms the most important source for the history of the events of October 5-6, 1789. Those days belong to the most memorable events of the Revolution, best known for the women's march to Versailles and the transfer of the royal family to Paris. It was a crisis in which the outcome of the struggle between the crown and the National Assembly was decided by popular intervention.Loosely inserted is a Table Alphabetique des Noms de toutes les Personnes . of 7, (1) pp.This is an exceptional copy: it has on the front paste-down the engraved bookplate of the 'Société des Amis de la Constitution', the year 1792 in the center at foot of the plate, and in the center 'Vivre Libre ou Mourir'. This provenance is extremely rare: to our knowledge no copies originating from the library of the Jacobins has surfaced ever!The Jacobin club was the best-known and most influential of the political clubs of the French Revolution, which also lent its name to the political ideology of Jacobinism, particularly during the height of the Revolution in the Year II (1793-94). When the National Assembly was transferred to Paris in 1789, the club was established in the convent of the Jacobins (Dominicans of the rue Saint-Jacques) on the rue Saint-Honoré, from which derives the name most commonly given to this Society of the Friends of the Constitution. The club had among its members the duc d'Aiguillon, the duc de Noailles, the marquis de Lafayette, A. Du Port, A. Barnave, M. Robespierre, Brissot, and Billaud-Varenne, to name but a few. Shortly after the fall of Robespierre the club was closed and some time later the location was demolished and the site became what is now the Saint-Honoré market. N° de réf. du libraire 1609
