SUPPLEMENT FOR THE YEAR 1791 for Gentleman's Magazine, England. Within this supplement issue, which was published at the end of the year, is a notable document titled: "The French Constitution, Established Aug. 4, 1791" which takes up nearly ten pages. This was the first written constitution of France created after the collapse of the monarchy. One of the basic precepts of the revolution was establishing popular sovereignty. It would be effective for only one year.
Complete in 72 pages, a banner heading at the top of the first page with the title, 5 by 8 inches, very nice condition.
