[Rarebooks] FS: 1827 French Anti-Censorship Satire by Narcisse-Achille, Duc de Salvandy

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Exposition des Derniers Produits de l'Industrie de la Censure et 
reclamation d'icelle contre une omission du jury.

Printed in Paris by A. Sautelet et Cie, Librairies, 9 Octobre, 1827.

A satirical polemic against the 'Latest Products of the Censorship 
industry". Written by Narcisse-Achille, Duc de Salvandy [1795-1856], a 
French politician of humble birth and Irish heritage. He had served in 
the wars under Napoleon in 1813-1814, and was a prolific author, often 
on historical, and sometimes political, subjects. This is one of the 
latter, a scathing indictment of the French governments attempts to 
crack down brutally on the press, led by Jean-Baptiste Guillaume Joseph 
Marie Anne Seraphin, comte de Villèle. As a deputy, and Prime minister, 
Villele was a leader of the Ultra-royalist faction during the Bourbon 
Restoration. Between 1825 and 1827 he oversaw laws which made sacrilege 
was made a crime punishable by death and "a new and stringent press 
law", nicknamed the "law of justice and love." Salvandy went on to 
become a member of the Chamber of Deputies from 1830-1848, and was 
Minister of Education in Louis-Mathieu Molé's cabinet of 1837-1839, and 
again in 1845. He also served as ambassador in Madrid and Turin in the 
early 1840s, and superintended the foundation of the French School at 
Athens and the restoration of the École des Chartes.
