§ GODEFROY (François). Historical show, divided into twenty-five year periods [...] With explanatory notes by Mr. Levesque. Paris, Chez l'auteur, [1789]. In-folio of [1] f. (engraved illustrated title), [1] f. (warning), 10 engraved illustrated plates and [24] pp. of explanatory text. The last 2 plates and the last 2 sheets of text are detached. 12 bound issues in a single volume in folio cardboard waiting box with reusable vellum on the spine. The series ends in 1750; in the Disclaimer the author specifies "I will publish in 1790 the continuation of the eighteenth century in two prints, the last of which will only comprise a period of fifteen years". The events of the Revolution will certainly have had the better of this project.
