Later full brown sheep binding circa 1800. Spine with raised bands and fillets. Tan morocco title label. Headcaps worn. Contemporaries saw in La Grange-Chancel the successor to Racine. He boasted of having the highest capacity for writing verse. His connections brought him to Louis XIV who asked Racine to read it and the latter sponsored the author's first play. Many of his plays met with fine success and the author represents if not a great dramatist the taste of an era for a certain kind of theater. Most of the subjects of his plays are drawn from the novels of Calprenède whom he particularly favored. The preface might more justly be called Memoirs of La Grange-Chancel as he recounts his rise from childhood to the launch of his first play Jugurtha. 19th-century engraved armorial bookplate: Le Proux. Chez François L'Honoré et fils hardcover
