This particular volume, written by historian H. Carré, focuses on the reign of Louis XV between 1715 and 1774, examining the Regency period, Bourbon administration, political reform, court life, and the broader social and intellectual currents shaping pre-revolutionary France. Published by Librairie Hachette of Paris in 1909, the work reflects the rigorous academic standards and elegant book production associated with French historical publishing of the era.\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      The book is especially attractive in its original leather and marbled bindings, featuring gilt spine titling, raised bands, decorative tooling, and richly coloured marbled boards and endpapers. The interior remains notably clean and refined, printed on quality paper with wide margins and crisp typography throughout. An elegant ex-library bookplate to the front pastedown adds a subtle layer of provenance without detracting from the presentation. The combination of scholarly content and handsome binding makes this volume equally appealing as a research reference, decorative library piece, or companion to other continental leather-bound works.\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n     Works from Lavisse's celebrated Histoire De France series remain respected for their depth, clarity, and importance within French historiography, while finely bound Hachette editions such as this are increasingly appreciated for their visual and decorative qualities. This example presents beautifully on the shelf with its warm leather spine and richly patterned marbled boards, embodying the sophistication of early 20th century French bookmaking. A desirable volume for collectors of French history, European studies, leather-bound books, and admirers of classic Parisian publishing.\"\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n   \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n         \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n           \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n             \u003cfont face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n              \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n               Light wear to covers and spine as shown.
