CHATEAUBRIAND (François-René de). De la Monarchie selon la Charte, Paris, Imprimerie de Le Normant, 1816. In-8°, half green basane, smooth spine decorated (period binding). ORIGINAL EDITION, with the mention "Ministre d'Etat" on the title, later removed. From the library of Charles Poisson, with bookplate on the title. Minor damage to headcap; corners dull. "The work, published a few days after the dissolution of the famous 'Chambre introuvable', aroused the indignation of Louis XVIII, who, under the influence of his ultra supporters, simply dismissed the author from his ministerial post" (Dictionnaire des OEuvres, IV, 603).
