L'affaire S.B. Peytel, condamné à mort par la cour d'Assises de l'Ain - Compte-rendu des débats. Lyon, Béraud-Lauras ; Bourg, Bottier ; Belley, Pézieux, 1839. In-8, 124p & large fold-out map. A very interesting work on this highly publicized affair, for which we still don't know whether it was a judicial error or not. Balzac, Gavarni and Lamartine took up the cause of Peytel, accused of killing his wife and her servant. Paperback, untrimmed, scattered foxing, flaws to cover, tear to plan mainly at folds (taped). Uncommon. Francisque Allombert, Sébastien Peytel, un notaire mâçonnais meurtrier guillotiné à Bourg-en-Bresse le 28 octobre 1839. 2002 [reprint of a 1911 work].
