Here is the next book I found lately in a store which sells second hand items. The book is well preserved with some minor signs of wear. Nice leader binding and beautiful cover. The book is published in beginning of 20 century. Based on some records I found in the web it was published in 1911.
It looks like someone took the ex libris, bookplate out and damaged the inner side of the cover. Or it belonged to Library and there was an envelope glued on cover to keep track who borrowed the book. In fact the small seal in the corner states " Librairie Medicale CH. Boulange, 14. R.de Ancienne Comedie PARIS ".
The title page reads
Marat inconnu : l'homme privé, le médecin, le savant, d'après des documents nouveaux et inédits
Author: Docteur Augustin Cabanès
Publisher: Paris : Albin Michel
Same type of seal which was on the cover appears here.
From the page below we learn that this is a "deuxième", second edition, "Refondue et tres notablement augmentée" consolidated and very considerably augmented.
Below you can some pages from the book. Enjoy and Good luck on your hunt for the books which deserve a second chance !
