Notes: Includes all items listed in Tourneux, Maurice. Bibliographie de l'historire de Paris pendant la Revolution française, v. 1 (1890) p. 58-59 (no. 288), plus two plates not listed in Tourneux: Evénement du 15 juillet 1789--Louis XVI, sortant de l'Assemblé nationale, s'en retourne à pied au château, and Evénement du 5 mars 1791: Révolte du régiment du Port-au-prince ...

The événements, 5 mai 1789-5 mars 1791, are each described by an aquatint plate by J. F. Janinet and, except one, by text in a separate pamphlet of 4-10 p. The plates are here found in two sets: one, uncolored, with captions (20 cm.); the other, colored, and with no captions (trimmed to 12.7 cm.). These were mounted by a former owner in pairs on folio sheets to which the accompanying pamphlets (2l cm.) are also attached.

The "Code des loix," projected as v. 2, was never published; cf. NUC, pre 1956, v. 211, p. 155.
