FIRST AND ONLY EDITIONS OF THE TWO PRINCIPAL CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNTS OF FRENCH SERIAL KILLER LEMAIRE DE CLERMONT, bound together in one volume. 2, 121 pp. + lithographed portrait; 96 pp. + engraved portrait. The first is an extremely detailed account of his accusation and trial; the second is a memoir of the crimes supposedly written by the murderer himself during the six weeks between his trial and his execution. Printed on fine laid paper. 8vo. Attractively bound in early 20th-century quarter calf and marbled boards. Original wraps of both works bound in. Light wear to binding. Internally FINE AND BRIGHT (except a bit of restoration to wraps of second work). Frère II, p. 201, apparently never having actually seen either work. Very rare, even more so complete with both portraits and the wraps. sxxi.
