First edition. Half black morocco binding, spine with five raised bands, marbled paper boards, marbled endpapers and pastedowns. Our copy expanded with a mounted autograph note that does not appear to be in the author's hand: "A Madame, Madame la comtesse Charles de Goutaud, rue Louis le Grand n°23", dated December 1821. This note is found on the back of an invitation to the blessing of the new chapel of the Infirmerie Marie-Thérèse. Céleste de Chateaubriand, the author's wife, had founded this hospital in 1819, an institution whose mission was to welcome elderly priests and noble women who had become widows during the Revolution. Located on rue Denfert, at number 86 as indicated by this invitation, this institution still exists and welcomes retired Parisian priests. Lacks not touching text at the location of the seals. A small paper manufacturing flaw at the foot of the title page.
