Contemporary full blonde calf binding. Spine with five raised bands richly decorated with gilt compartments and fleurons, with a camel morocco title label.

A small corner lack on page 103 of the first part.
Antoine Hamilton is primarily the author of the Mémoires du comte de Grammont, which Etiemble (author of the anthology of 18th-century authors in the Pléiade collection and rediscoverer of 18th-century authors like Crébillon fils) considers one of the masterpieces of the period. His tales were also appreciated, such as Fleur d'épine or Le bélier. Despite the work accomplished by Etiemble, and the complete rehabilitation of Crébillon fils, Hamilton remains fully to be rediscovered.
