Our copy presents them in uniform binding, only the title and volume labels differ: they are in red morocco for volumes V and VI and in beige morocco for the first four volumes.

Important edition in the bibliography of first editions of the Marquise de Sévigné. Indeed, it is the first presenting a considerable number of letters (614 versus 134 for the two-volume edition of 1726) and the first authorized by the Marquise's goddaughter, Pauline de Simiane. The latter asked Perrin, a publisher from Aix-en-Provence, to establish an edition based on the manuscripts. Only the letters to the Comtesse de Grignan were retained. The 1754 edition would contain 712 letters, as it was expanded with letters to various correspondents. The manuscript letters were then destroyed after being selected according to interest and style. A very useful index at the end of volume VI allows one to find the characters scattered throughout the letters.
