20 cm, [4], VI, [6], 406 pp.
A concise overview of the history of European societies from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to modern times. François Guizot’s work had a major influence on modern historiography and on the understanding of the very concept of civilization; the Polish edition inaugurated the “Biblioteka Zagraniczna” series.
A complete copy in a contemporary half-leather binding, bearing ownership stamps reading “From the library of K. Siarkiewicz.” Visible discoloration of the pages and signs of wear consistent with its age; the block is stable, and the text is legible.
Item from the 14th Polish Antiquarian Book Auction.
