Memoirs of the very famous tragedienne Hyppolyte de la Tude Clairon (1723-1803), who was revered by the greatest figures (Diderot, Voltaire, Louis XV...). The actress was not content with her success alone but contributed to the profound regeneration of French theater. Marmontel was her lover and encouraged her to abandon the declamatory style. The portrait of Mlle Dumesnil, who was long her rival, contains great acrimony. The work is not composed like classical memoirs but rather as a succession of articles and chapters addressing different themes, more or less personal; one will find letters, critiques of plays...

This panegyric, as announced on the first page of text, was delivered by Pliny the Younger before the Senate, in the emperor's presence, when Pliny was Consul. In fact, the speech delivered by Pliny was much shorter than this one and it was written to thank the emperor for choosing him as consul; it was only later that Pliny reworked his text by expanding it historically and gave it this title.

Charles Dupin was first and foremost a brilliant geometer and skilled naval engineer, his mathematical research was important (Dupin's theorem). He began his political career under the Restoration and was sent to England (he made several trips there) for the purpose of spying on the English naval arsenal. He published a study entitled Forces militaires de la Grande Bretagne and knew England very well. Dominique de Pradt was a political writer, in addition to his reflection on the powers of England and Russia, he published a parallel between America and Europe.

Recent manuscript annotations on first endpaper, noting that L'allée de la seringue, a satirical poem, is in imitation of Boileau's Lutrin, that the Fradine is also a satire against an apothecary, and that L'hérésie détruite is a celebration of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The last text, in prose, is a strange staging of the Gods of Parnassus and symbols of literature who will crown Madame Deshoulières as the tenth muse. The text is dedicated to Mademoiselle de Scudéry, in competition with Madame Deshoulières, as she also wished to be considered a muse of letters.
Eustache Lenoble (1643-1711), Baron de Tenelière, is well known for his political satires and other curious productions that he created (most of his works are rather rare).

Half red percale binding, mid-19th century. Gilt title. Anonymous libel that appeared the day after the Duke of Luynes, favorite of Louis XIII, was made Constable. He is accused of all the evils that have befallen France since Louis XIII, and of serving only his own interests by ruining France and abusing so young a king. Charles d'Albert was made Duke of Luynes in 1619, and was the first of this line. Luynes nevertheless served the king skillfully by enabling him, through his intrigues against Marie de Medici and Concini, to accede to power, but gathering all the king's favors, he was hated by the people and many politicians such as Richelieu.

Charles Joseph Mayer (1751-1825), French writer and editor of Cabinet des fées, whose critical role was important for the rediscovery of ancient literatures. Les Aventures is perhaps the first attempt at a pastiche of a medieval novel resonating with accents of a new modernity.

The first text, by a convinced Bourbon supporter, narrates Napoleon's return to Paris and the king's flight. The second addresses a plea to the king on the sale of national property carried out since the Revolution. The third text examines under public law the question of the alienation of émigrés' property and their restitution. The last text narrates in a lyrical style those émigrés who were the king and his court in 1815. It goes without saying that all authors condemn Napoleon Bonaparte without reservation in the strongest terms.

The first edition dates from 1722, it was illustrated with 4 figures. This new edition is illustrated with 5 unsigned figures, taken from the original. All editions of this novel appear uncommon. The title page does not contain the author's name.

Not in Cohen (Livres à fig. XVIIIe).
