‎Tyssot de Patot Simon‎

‎THE TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES OF JAMES MASSEY. TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH‎

‎London: Printed for John Watts 1733. 123186pp. 12mo. Contemporary calf sympathetically rebacked in matching calf with raised bands and gilt labels. Engraved frontis signed "G. Van der Guchte". Early stamped insignia on front pastedown modest tanning but a very good copy. First edition in English of a significant imaginary voyage of particular import for its relation to early conceptions of Australia. The first edition was published under a false Bordeaux 1710 imprint and three other editions appeared similarly dated. Recent authorities have sorted out the precedence with the first edition being identified with some confidence as actually Rouen 1714. The translator's dedication is signed Stephen Whatley. Tyssot de Patot's novel "is a carefully written well authenticated story of travel and adventure in Europe in Africa in Asia and in an unknown land far beyond the Cape of Good Hope. The realism of the setting is based upon a close following of accounts of real travelers such as Dellon Tavernier Mocquet and Lahontan. There is nothing fantastic unbelievable or overdrawn in the descriptions of the Austral continent. Tyssot seems to restrain himself consciously in order to write an apparently true story. Indirect criticism by the example of an imaginary and virtuous community is used here as in all the previous novels of the type. The journey to the unknown land is very carefully authenticated as is the return journey. Discussions of science and religion are fitted into the adventures much more artistically than in the case of the novels of Foigny and Vairasse.From the point of the history of ideas.it is a very interesting document."- Atkinson. It is also notable for a reference to the Wandering Jew as well as for a well-constructed bee fable. Howgego . INVENTED AND APOCRYPHAL NARRATIVES OF TRAVEL T25.

‎1 p.l. 140 pp. 8vo attractive antique half-calf & boards. Paris: Mauger & Hubert An VII 1799. The very rare sale catalogue of duplicates from the library of Mérard 1749-1812 man of letters. He was born into a very rich family and for a number of years was in charge of the residence of the future Louis XIII. After retiring from his public duties in 1782 he concentrated on his growing collection of books and commissioned editions printed in severely limited numbers. Guigard wrote Vol. II p. 351: "San l'amour des livres Mérard de Saint-Just serait complètement oublié." In 1783 he issued a famous catalogue limited to 25 copies. The catalogue is an odd combination of books which were present in his library books no longer in his library and books which he desired for his library including some completely imaginary books. His collection was not large but fine. Mérard did not have the taste for editio princeps except for Aldines but preferred the best editions with careful editing. He bought books from many of the great collections of the 18th century - Pompadour de Boze Gaignat Randon de Boisset Mac-Carthy Reagh Gouttard etc. - and selected choicely bound volumes including examples by Padeloup Derôme Roger Payne and Baumgarten. 1079 lots and priced throughout in a contemporary hand.
