MEMOIRES DE M GUISET (1840)

The Memoirs of "M. Gisquet" refer to the writings of Henri Joseph Gisquet, a French banker and former Prefect of Police in Paris. Published in the early 1840s, his multi-volume memoirs detail his career and police work, particularly during the July Monarchy.

Gisquet’s memoirs, written from his own perspective, are titled Mémoires de M. Gisquet, ancien préfet de police, écrits par lui-même. They include:

• A personal account of his career: Gisquet recounts his experiences and the events of his time as head of the Parisian police force.
• An historical record: The writings offer a unique, if biased, perspective on law enforcement and public order in Paris in the 1830s.
• Reproductions and editions: The work has been reprinted and republished in various editions since its original publication around 1840.
• Cultural importance: Despite potential imperfections in some reproductions, the work is considered culturally significant for preserving historical information about French police and political life.
