First Swedish edition of Dubroca’s Les femmes celebres de la revolution, bound with an unrelated translation.

Dubroca’s book includes a series of anecdotes about the heroic acts of women under the French Revolution. Jean-Louis Dubroca (1757–1835) was a propagandist of Napoleon, best known for his biased Toussaint Louverture-biography.

The second work is a curious novel titled Den Persiska slafvinnan. Scarce, no copies outside of Sweden according to WorldCat.
