Claude-Henri de SAINT-SIMON

First edition, sewn in temporary plain paper covers, titled in ink on upper cover.
A small wormtrack affecting the last 20 pages, a little spotting, otherwise a very good, well-margined, and unsophisticated copy.
Of the utmost rarity.

The first edition, of which there were no deluxe copies.
Signed autograph inscription by the author, the dedicatee's name has been cut out.
Spine and boards slightly and marginally faded, handsome interior condition.

First edition published in a small number of copies.
Rare and handsome copy almost entirely free from foxing.
