Louis Chambeau

First edition.

Contemporary marbled sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Red morocco title label. Joint cracked at foot on upper board. 3 corners bumped. Rubbing.

Poetic anthology gathering very diverse pieces (epistles, madrigals, fables, satires...) not only by the author, but also by Voltaire, Marmontel, and other contemporary authors. It contains certain curiosities: Lines on The Spirit of Laws. The whole presents itself with a distinctly light and humorous tone.
