408 pages plus 1 table des chapitres, les 20 premiers feuillets sont marqués en haut de la première page de chaque feuillet "supplément du journal le siècle avec la date du supplément" (entre le 28 septembre 1845 et le premier février 1846) les autres feuillets n'ont pas cette inscription en fin d'ouvrage : François Picaud, Histoire contemporaine ( Histoire dont s'est inspiré Dumas) Rare publication, suivant de quelques mois la première apparition de l uvre sous forme de feuilletons dans " Le Journal des débats " en août 1844. Relié en fin d'ouvrage : " François Picaud, histoire contemporaine " (pages 404 à 408). Les pages sont généralement très bonnes, mais certaines anciennes pages sont légèrement humides. Très rare, sachant qu il a été imprimé sur un magazine ou un journal. Une partie de la page manquante de la dernière table des chapitres, qui a été collée sur une feuille de papier, peut être visualisée dans la dernière image, très peu de texte manquant, bonne reliure moderne solide.
