About This Item
Original Publisher's dark brown cloth and gilt lettered spine. Volumes 3 rear hinge is slightly cracked, otherwise a beautiful set in fresh condition. Housed in a cloth clamshell case with a morocco label. First Edition of Proudhon's Most Massive and Powerful Work - Completing and Fully Explicating His "Philosophy of the Revolution" - Seized and Suppressed by the Government Just Six Days After Publication Just six days after publication on April 22, 1858, remaining copies of the book were confiscated on the grounds that it was "an attack upon public and religious morals." Proudhon was indicted, convicted and sentenced to three years, one month and fifteen days in jail and assessed a 4,000 franc fine. He fled to Brussels to avoid incarceration and remained there for most of what was left of his life. An important work which has become difficult to find in the Publisher's cloth.
