    FONGERAY
    Les soirées de Neuilly, esquisses dramatiques et historiques
    Moutardier|Paris 1827|13 x 21.40 cm|reliés

    First edition with some parts of the text in first edition, bearing a statement of second edition; the second volume appears here for the first time. A full-length portrait of the author and a facsimile of an autograph.


    Contemporary half cherry red glazed calf bindings. Spines with raised bands decorated with two stamps and Restoration-style roulettes, fillets. Rubbing to headcaps and joints.

    Elegant binding, handsome copy.


    De Fongeray is the collective pseudonym of Hygin-Auguste Cavé and Adolphe Dittmer (this name appears on the title label). The work is illustrated with a portrait of the so-called de Fongeray, which is actually just a portrait of Stendhal. ("We learned from M. Henry Monnier that the alleged portrait of M. de Fongeray is nothing less than that of Stendhal, slightly exaggerated". Asselineau, page 307.) Escoffier specifies: "this second edition consists of the volume from the first edition [in 1 vol., here bearing the statement second edition], and a second volume, in first edition, bearing on the title page second edition.


    Edmond Cavé (1794-1852) and Adolphe Dittmer (1795-1846) were two liberal-leaning publicists who collaborated on Le Globe. In this work published jointly, one finds dramatic proverbs or playlets, linked to events of the Empire and the Revolution.

  11. Oeuvres complettes, publiées par M. Rigoley de Juvigny

    Oeuvres complettes, publiées par M. Rigoley de Juvigny
    De l'Imprimerie de Lambert|à Paris 1776|12 x 19.50 cm|7 volumes reliés
    The most complete collected edition of the works of Alexis Piron, edited by Rigoley de Juvigny. Portrait of the author at the head of the first volume, engraved on copper by Augustin de Saint-Aubin after Caffieri. As very often, the eighth volume, comprising the Œuvres badines, is not included here. A wide-margined copy. Title pages in red and black.

A lack along the upper joint at the tail of volume 1. Scattered foxing in volume 4. Rubbing at headcaps, joints and corners, but a very fine set, particularly fresh.
    Complete collection of Piron's theater, tales, and pieces in verse and prose. The author began his career with epigrams and witticisms (a talent found in the Tales), then turned to comedy working for comic opera and fairground theater. His tragedies, although they attempt to renew a moribund genre at the time, are not his best efforts. Piron created the play that remains his masterpiece in 1738: La métromanie, of which Grimm said it would endure as long as there is theater and taste in France.
