About this Item

We are offering an interesting book entitled: Harvard et la France: Recueil d etudes publie en l honneur de l Universite Harvard et offert a cette Universite par le Comite Francais pour la celebration du troisieme centenaire d Harvard. The work was published in Paris in 1936. "Edite Par Les Soins De La Revue D Histoire Moderne." It was originally issue in brown printed wrappers, but this copy of the book was specially bound in a light Crimson cloth with a paper spine label, orignally wrapper covers bound-in. It bears the bookplate of Howard C. Rice, Jr., a noted authority on France and French language, culture and history who taught at Harvard. There is a contemporary review of this book pasted-in, which apparently appeared in a Harvard newspaper and is signed in the text "Howard C. Rice, Instructor in French." On the front cover of the bound-in wrapper at the beginning of the text, someone (apparently Rice) has written in ink: "Written by men who have lectured at Harvard 500 copies for American and So. American Universities. On Sale at Co-op." The text is complete in 240 pages and includes a great foldout map (facsimile of a 1663 Map of Boston) entitled: La Premiere Representation De Harvard College… by Jean Baptiste Franquelin…. 1693." The authors credited are: Bernard Fay, Rene Doumic, A Tardien, M. LeBreten, et. Al. There is some light fading to the covers but overall condition is just about Fine.
