[BASTILLE]. Quelques anecdotes sur la prise de la Bastille. S.l., s.é., 1789. In-12 paperback in dust jacket. Margins trimmed. 8 pages. Small loss at the top of the pages (consolidated with adhesive tape), without affecting the text. A good copy of this pamphlet published anonymously in 1789 and entitled "quelques anecdotes sur un grand évènement", in which the author recounts the storming of the Bastille through anecdotes whose symbolic significance he emphasizes. He closes his account with these words: "We'll quote again, as a Patriotic Anecdote, the idea of a good Citizen who, as the first Deputies came to spread joy in Paris & the news of Peace; as they marched down the Pont-Neuf to the sound of cannon, and among the salvos of musketry, and mounted the National cockade on the head of Henri-Quatre, as the signal of liberty; which verifies for us these verses from the Henriade. Ne perdez pas de vue, au fort de la tempête, Ce Panache éclatant qui flotte sur ma tête". Copy in very good condition, fresh inside.
