ANQUETIL (Louis-Pierre). HISTOIRE de France depuis les Temps les plus Reculés jusqu'à la Mort de Louis XVI. Paris. 1838. - ANQUETIL (Louis-Pierre) HISTOIRE de France depuis les Temps les plus Reculés jusqu'à la Mort de Louis XVI . Nouvelle édition, revue et continuée jusqu'en 1830 par M. Th. Burette, Professeur d'histoire au Collège Stanislas; avec des Considérations sur l'Histoire par M. de Chateaubriand. Paris: Pourrat Frères, Éditeurs, 1838. 4 v.: il.; 250 mm. A new edition, revised and continued by Théodore Burette until 1830, with the famous Considerations on the History of François-René de Chateaubriand. Louis-Pierre Anquetil (Paris, 1723 - Paris, 1806), a member of the Institut National, wrote his History of France at the request of Napoleon, a work that would undergo numerous editions and abridgements throughout the 19th century, establishing itself as one of the most widely disseminated histories of France in the post-revolutionary period. This edition by Pourrat Frères, in four volumes profusely illustrated with engravings in extratext representing portraits, views and historical scenes, is one of the most careful and complete presentations of the text, incorporating the continuation by Burette - a history professor at the Estanislau College - which extends the narrative to 1830, and the historiographical reflections of Chateaubriand, placed at the end of the fourth volume.
