Paris, Le Normant fils, 1818-1820. 78 issues in 6 vol. in-8, half calf (with green vellum corners for 3 vol.), smooth threaded spine, gilt title and tomaison (contemporary binding). Complete collection of the 78 issues. Le Conservateur was published from October 1818 to March 1820, after the fall of Decazes and the reinstatement of censorship. With the help of Monsieur, the king's brother, who provided the first capital outlay, ten personalities founded Le Conservateur: Bruges, Talaru, Polignac, Vitrolles, Mathieu de Montmorency, Fiévée, Villèle, Castelbajac, Trouvé and Lamennais. If Chateaubriand was not one of the founders, contrary to legend, he was the standard bearer, the true intellectual leader of Le Conservateur and his name will remain definitively linked to its publication.
