Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. [Chevrier, François-Antoine]Recueil de ces dames. A Bruxelles.[Paris] aux dépens de la compagnie, 1745. 8vo. xvi + 290p. Late 18th century French red morocco with Talleyrand arms of three crowned lions rampant and motto 'Re Que Diou' gilt-stamped in centres of sides within triple line borders, spine gilt with olive morocco title label, edges gilt, marbled endpapers. First edition of this satire on the frivolity of contemporary society ladies, apparently the earliest book by the acerbic writer and pamphleteer, François-Antoine Chévrier (1721-62), best known for his libellous Le Colporteur (1762) shortly after whose publication he was forced to flee to Holland and was supposedly murdered there. This superbly bound volume is a fine example of the earliest period of book-collecting by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (1754-1838), celebrated statesman and connoisseur, who used the arms of his father, Charles-Daniel Comte de Perigord (1734-88), to decorate the bindings of only some of his favourite books. A selection from Talleyrand s first library was sold at Sotheby s in 1793 to support himself as a refugee in England; a second, more extensive selection was sold in London in 1816 to pay debts. But most of his books, notably those kept at the library at Valençay, only contained armorial bookplates which makes this volume so special. A unique opportunity to acquire a choice item from Talleyrand's first library which contained only a very few volumes bearing his arms as supra libros. A fine copy elegantly bound in the best tradition of 18th century bibliophily. For the arms of Charles Comte de Talleyrand, father of Charles Maurice, who married Alexandrine-Marie-Victoire-Eleonore de Damas d'Antigny cf: Olivier I, plate 944. From the library of Robert S.Pirie, lawyer-banker & distinguished collector (1935-2015); with presentation inscription to him by Jayne Wrightsman, collector and philanthropist, dated 2006.

A FINE SET INSIDE AND OUT. This finely bound, finely printed, and strictly limited set includes the biography, prose, letters, essays, and poetry of "the prince of English essayists." According to Day, Charles Lamb contributed to the essay form by concentrating on feeling (rather than thought), by projecting a fuller sense of self into the work, and by imbuing his text with a poetic or lyrical quality. Lamb was also an accomplished poet, writing in both rhyming and blank verse, as well as a friend to many of the leading literary figures of the Romantic period--his correspondents include Wordsworth, Southey, Hazlitt, and Coleridge, whom he had known since childhood. Lamb's letters, by turns witty and meditative, reveal a life of intense reading and writing at a time when British literature was undergoing a radical transformation. Charles Lamb (1775-1834) was educated at Christ's Hospital and at 17 joined the East India House, where he worked from 1792-1825. In 1796, Lamb's sister Mary stabbed and killed their mother with scissors in a fit of insanity. Charles took on her care as well as serving as sole support for a dying aunt and a prematurely senile father. Nonetheless, Lamb and his sister were devoted to one another and lived long and productive lives, publishing together the wildly popular "Tales from Shakespeare" (1807) and "Mrs. Leicester's School" (1809), both of which are included here. Though unsigned, the bindings are extremely attractive and fittingly luxurious for the limited-edition contents--the thick gilt tooling, luxurious doublures, and red silk endpapers housing tactilely pleasing Japanese vellum make this set a delight both to have and to hold.
