[?]DUBOIS, Henry Leopold. The History of a French Dagger; An Anecdote of the Revolution. Translated from the French. London: Printed for the Author, 1828. 2 volumes, 12mo (195 x 115mm). (Occasional light spotting and staining.) Contemporary or [?]original paper-backed blue boards (spine of vol. I split from top to bottom, rubbed with slight loss). Provenance: The Arthur H. Clark Company, Cleveland, Ohio (very small bookseller`s label in corner of front pastedowns). FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH, although "British Fiction 1800-29 Database" states "No French original discovered" so the author`s claims that this is a translation may be spurious; indeed, there is a suspicion that the author`s name is a pseudonym and the writer is actually English. The author/translator is described as being "Late Surgeon of Cavalry in the Imperial Army." "The book struck me as depicting, in lively colours, such barbarous transactions as were unfortunately too common during the days of terror in Paris; and I found it interesting, from the continual hope the mind entertains of the final triumph of innocence and virtue" (from the Dedication).
