This copy constitutes the definitive edition of one of his best-known works devoted to the art of oratory, and especially to parliamentary oratory. It begins with a treatise on parliamentary eloquence, then moves on to other genres (eloquence in the press, the didactic approach to pamphlets, and the eloquence of the Bar and the Public Prosecutor's Office), among which one chapter stands out that is not found in any other treatise on oratory: on the Deliberative Eloquence of the Council of State of the First Empire (of which the author was a member). The remainder of the book consists of a series of portraits of the most prominent parliamentarians during the first half of the 19th century (Benjamin Constant, Royer-Collard, Villêle, Ledru-Rollin, Lafayette, Odilon-Barrot, Arago, Lamartine, Thiers, etc.). It also includes several short pamphlets that had not been republished until now, among which \"Statute of the New Egalitarian Order,\" a parody of Fourierist doctrine, is particularly noteworthy, as is a very interesting appendix on coups d'état.
