New edition after the first, very rare, published in 1670. Huet's Treatise on the Origin of Novels, in the form of a letter to Segrais, appears at the end of the first part of Zaïde.
Armorial copy of Charlotte Emilie Le Fèvre de Caumartin de La cour de Balleroy, daughter of Louis-François Le Fèvre de Caumartin, lord of Boissy, and wife of the Marquis de la Cour de Balleroy. Feminine arms are rare and sought after, as few women formed libraries with their coat of arms. The Marquise de Balleroy, who died in 1749, settled in Normandy, and maintained an intense correspondence with the highest nobility from which she descended.
Full speckled brown calf bindings. Raised band spines with decorative tooling. Morocco title labels in tan, volume labels in speckled brown calf. Headcap of volume II split. A brown stain in corner of first 10 leaves of volume I, gradually fading, this stain recurring later, spreading then disappearing. A browner area at edge of right corner of volume I, on upper board. Despite some flaws, a handsome copy.

A nice copy, elegantly bound, containing the first printing of the famous Art poétique [Art Poetics], Verlaine's response to Boileau's Art Poétique.
The rare first collected edition, with a frontispiece portrait. This edition contains most of Rivarol's writings and notably numerous short pieces, but it is not entirely complete; certain royalist or monarchist writings were not retained in this edition under the Empire. At the beginning of the fifth volume, a letter from Madame Rivarol thanking the publisher for having removed the calumnious and mendacious notice from volume I. This notice, indeed, has been removed from numerous volumes.

Set heavily rubbed with some lacks to spines. Joints of volume I cracked at head and foot. Upper joint of volume 5 cracked. All corners bumped.
