(Revolution.). Collection of the heroic and civic actions of the French Republicans. Presented to the National Convention in the name of its committee of public instruction; by Léonard Bourdon [by A.C. Thibaudeau for the n° V]. Paris, Imprimerie Nationale, Year II [1793-1794], 5 issues bound in 1 volume. 11,5 by 19 cm. Half pastiche basane in perfect condition. Small lack of paper with loss of 3 characters at the bottom of a page of volume V. Otherwise very good condition inside. Complete edition of this very rare periodical. First republican manual of civic instruction intended to be read and commented in schools and in the army. A real republican hagiography: the young Barra, the heroine of Saint-Mihier, the blacksmith of the Vendée, etc. Very instructive as to the republican state of mind at the end of the Revolution, and its will to create a new heroic imaginary.
