‎Histoire de la ville de Paris‎

‎à Paris: Chez Guillaume Desprezet Jean Desessartz 1725. Fine. Chez Guillaume Desprez et Jean Desessartz à Paris 1725 25.50 x 38 cm 5 volumes reliés First edition illustrated with a frontispiece engraved by Simonneau after Hallé 3 vignettes by Cochin or Simonneau a large folding plan by Coquart and 32 plates most often folding engraved by Hérisset Lucas or Avéline; they offer a view of all the principal monuments of the capital including three beautiful views drawn ""sur le naturel"" by Chaufourier showing the Pont Neuf and the Quai Conti from Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois the Île Saint-Louis and the Quai Saint-Bernard the Collège des Quatre Nations up to the Pont Royal from the Louvre. The famous plan of Paris 68 x 90 cm predates that of Turgot by fifteen years. The last three volumes contain the numerous supporting documents and proofs and were organized by Lobineau; these form the public archives of the city. Contemporary bindings in full brown calf. Spines with six raised bands decorated with gilt compartments and fleurons as well as red morocco title and volume labels. Joints cracked and most headcaps missing. All edges red. The most monumental work and undoubtedly the finest book published on Paris in the early 18th century. Although death surprised the author during the writing of his work it was continued by Lobineau another member of the famous scholarly congregation of the Benedictines of Saint Maur who himself died in 1727. This major study which Paris was lacking was originally commissioned by the provost of merchants Jérôme Bignon 1711-1772 and it forms the first official history of the capital and an unprecedented documentary source; and it is undoubtedly through this that this history shines with particular brilliance: the extremely important documentation devoted to the history of Paris the rigor of the analyses and hypotheses. It was following this work that Turgot made the decision to gather at the registry of the Hôtel de Ville a library devoted to the city of Paris in order to continue the work of the two historians giving birth to the Historical Library of the city of Paris. The history of the city is preceded by two dissertations the first by Le Roy on the origins of the hôtel de ville which was the first political government of Paris the second on the explanation of the antiquities found at Notre-Dame.

‎Oeuvres de théatre‎

‎à Paris: Chez La veuve Duchesne 1766. Fine. Chez La veuve Duchesne à Paris 1766 10 x 17 cm 3 volumes reliés First collected edition. 5 leaves of music at the end of volume 1 and 12 in volume II. Contemporary full blonde calf bindings attributed to Derôme an old inscription states this on the first endpaper. Smooth spines decorated with 4 small fleurons fillets and roulettes. Orange morocco title labels and tan morocco volume labels. Triple fillet borders on boards. All edges gilt. Lacks at head of volumes I and II. Upper joint cracked in volume I along the first compartment. 4 corners slightly bumped. Rubbing from use. Despite the noted defects a handsome copy. As for the personality Guyot de Merville seems quite close to Rousseau and his existence is a long series of misfortunes and failures. His theater never met with success due to the poor relations the author maintained with the actors. Everything he undertook ended badly and he had numerous persecutors; Voltaire's coldness in whom he placed his last hopes completed his melancholy and led him to end his days at the bottom of Lake Geneva. The 4 plays contained in volume III appear for the first time they were reportedly found in a portfolio. ""Finally epigrams and poetry by the author; the plays most often contain a preface. This author had nourished himself on reading the best dramatic poets and one sees that Molière is the one he proposed as his model. He imitated him especially in the simplicity of his plots and his style and his plays have the merit of being as pleasant to read as to perform"". Bibliothèque des théâtres. Bookplate of L. S. Auger.
