Nicely bound by ZAEHNSDORF in three-quarter leather with marbled covers, marbled end papers, gilt top page edges, and five raised band and gilt decorations on the spine. Robespierre was a French lawyer and statesman who became the architect of the French Revolution's "Reign of Terror."

The day after his arrest, Robespierre and 21 of his followers were guillotined before a cheering mob in the Place de la Revolution in Paris.
