Description:
No Place: No Publisher Autograph note signed, approximately 210mm x 130mm in size. Slightly creased, with small hole to head of left hand margin, otherwise quite bright and clean. A note in French, in Blanc's hand, possibly part of a lecture, it roughly translates as: "There are men who imagine that it is possible to be clever in evil, and that iniquity changes its nature, for that reason only it is called reason of state. Nothing more wrong thank god! The blow that reaches an innocent person shakes the security of all; it is therefore about the whole of humanity. Yes, to examine things from above, to study them in their entirety, thousands of drunk men, as a result of a truth that is unknown, are a calamity less than a single man who suffers as a result of an injustice we admit". Louis Jean Joseph Charles Blanc (29 October 1811 - 6 December 1882) was a French politician and historian. A socialist who favoured reforms, his political and social ideas greatly contributed to the development…

Description:
London and Salisbury: Simpkin, Marshall and Co. and Brown and Co. [3], 4-28pp, [4], original paper covers, n.d. but 1871. Covers lightly foxed, rubbed, chipped to corners with small amount of loss, some light foxing internally, but generally fairly bright and clean. Allegorical account of the Franco-Prussian war which inspired several replies. The author H.[enry] W.[illiam] Pullen was a clergyman. Wikpedia notes "Pullen found fame with a pamphlet 'The Fight at Dame Europa's School'. A parable on the European situation, it made John, the head of the school, who refuses to separate Louis and William in a fight, though he sees that Louis is beaten and that the prolongation of the fight is mere cruelty. John is reproached by Dame Europa for cowardice, is told that he has grown "a sloven and a screw", and is threatened with loss of his position. It was a runaway success, and earned Pullen £3000. A dramatised version by George T. Ferneyhough was acted on 17 March 1871 by…
