Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. None (illustrator). A scarce collection of the Chevalier de Boufflers' letters, translated and complied by Leonora the Countess of Tankerville. A scarce work. These letters document events in an interesting time in history, just preceding the French Revolution.

Boufflers's mother was a correspondent of Voltaire, which perhaps influenced his lively letter writing.
