Bookseller Notes

A tidy little edition, with Notes, rare. The printed text is followed by a substantial 178 pp. MS 'Receuil de Pieces Erotiques et d'autre Genres, 1822.' These are extracts (in French) in prose and verse, from a wide variety of sources, usually noted. These include Justine, L'Academie des Dames, Brantme, La belle libertine, Rabelais, Balzac, &c, as well as plenty of verse, prose, games, anecdotes, advices, not attributed. The compiler had antiquarian interests, as, for instance, reference is made to Le Doctrinal du temps prsent de Pierre Michault (1466). BL only in WorldCat, but not in Kearney.
