Comprehensive documentation of the debates and inquiries conducted by the French court of cassation before opening the investigation to review the Dreyfus case. On 1 March 1899, the new President of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court, Alexis Ballot-Beaupré, was appointed recorder for the consideration of the application for review: after a new trial in Rennes, Dreyfus was again found guilty, but pardoned; only in 1906 would the rehabilitation process be completed. An appealing, well-preserved set, documenting the most important cause célèbre in French history, published as Dreyfus returned from Devil's Island. 1973 bookplate of the German law scholar Fritz Sturm (1925-2015) to pastedown.
