Binding is likely post World War II but does not appear recent. Spine a bit faded but does not distract; interior is nice with some aging to the edges and very light foxing. This title appears to be an unrecorded variant from those given in Cordier most closely matching #47 but with variants in pagination and the title page mis-spelling the author's name 'Beaumachais' and with other variants or perhaps an early piracy Title reads in full: 'LE BARBIER DE SÉVILLE OU LA PRÉCAUTION INUTILE COMEDIE EN QUARTRE ACTES; par M de Beaumachais Représentée sur le Théatre de la Comédie Française aux Tuileries le 23 de Fevrier 1775.

1775Best.-Nr. 92356Paris: Ruault 1775. Fine. ""Because you are a great lord you think yourself a great genius!"" Ruault Paris 1775-1785 12.8 x 19.6 cm Relié Le Barbier de Séville and Le Mariage de Figaro bound in one volume. Modern half brown chagrin binding sides in yellow and black marbled paper spine with five raised bands author titles and dates gilt one gilt fleuron stone paper doublures. Corners lightly rubbed leaves lightly browned a few scattered spots of foxing and soiling a tear to the title page a modern repair to the upper margin of the first leaves. Rare piracies bearing the date of the first edition and issued by the same publisher. These two most celebrated plays by Beaumarchais stirred passions from the moment of their appearance: criticised by some they nonetheless enjoyed a resounding success that led to a proliferation of rival editions. The first edition of Le Barbier de Séville Ruault 1775 was followed that same year by three further editions from the same publisher and by a piracy printed in Neuchâtel while that of Le Mariage de Figaro two Ruault editions 1785 was immediately pirated in Paris Lyon Stockholm Ghent and Dresden. Although our editions display certain features characteristic of the first editions - the correct years of publication and the achevé d'imprimer of Le Mariage de Figaro dated 28 February 1785 together with the name of the publisher Ruault - the pagination the title-page fleuron and the typography differ. Each contains an introduction in which Beaumarchais answers his critics: in Le Barbier de Séville it occupies pages 3 to 23 and in Le Mariage de Figaro it runs from page iii to xlvii. Le Barbier de Séville first staged on 23 February 1775 displeased the public on account of its length; the author's response was swift - within forty-eight hours he produced an abridged version of the play which this time won over the audience. This success allowed Beaumarchais to continue developing the story of the Almaviva family and to produce two further instalments thereby forming a trilogy. Le Mariage de Figaro the second play in the trilogy which this time exposed still further the vices of the nobility provoked the indignation of the king himself: written as early as 1778 and read by Beaumarchais in the salons it was censored at the request of Louis XVI who cancelled its first performance scheduled for 13 June 1783. Having secured the support of those close to the king Beaumarchais was able after a six-year wait to stage the play on 27 April 1784 at the Comédie-Française; this first performance was followed by seventy-three others in the 1784-1785 season alone - a veritable sensation in the French theatre. Two editorial curiosities that escaped the notice of both Cordier and Tchemerzine apparently printed shortly after the first editions capitalising on the plays' success on stage. Ruault hardcover

First edition of Beaumarchaiss famous memoirs against Judge Goezman Chez Ruault à Paris 1773 - 1776 19 x 25 cm In-4 relié First edition of this complete collection including the portrait of Cochin as frontispiece. Some of the memoirs had appeared in 1773 but the collected edition that brings them all together is indeed dated 1774; certain pieces are dated 1773 as they were added after the title page bearing the 1774 date.

Contemporary full speckled calf binding. Spine with gilt decorative tooling gilt fillets at head and foot. Brown morocco label. Blue mottled edges. Rubbing to joints. A good fresh copy with some gatherings slightly toned. Bookplate of J. B. Regnault avocat. Between 1773 and 1776 Beaumarchais published several memoirs in which he staged his own legal battle he had chosen to represent himself. These four memoirs blending dialogues and interrogations captivated all of Parisincluding Madame Du Barryand were performed in cafés and along the boulevards. They read like a brilliant comedy in which deception is ultimately unmasked. Beaumarchais was eventually acquitted in the case that opposed him to Judge Goezman who had been the reporting magistrate in the Paris-Duverney inheritance case that had brought Beaumarchais to financial ruin and public disgrace. In turn Beaumarchais accused Goezman of corruption while Goezman countered with charges of defamation and attempted bribery. Judge Goezman ultimately came to symbolize the corruption of the new Parliament established by Louis XV and the arbitrariness of the justice system. Chez Ruault unknown

From 1773 to 1774 Beaumarchais published 4 memoirs in which he dramatized his legal adventure one can see that he had chosen to represent himself. These 4 memoirs which blend dialogues and interrogations entertained all of Paris even Madame Du Barry and were performed everywhere in cafés and on the boulevards as they constitute a formidable comedy in which lies are ultimately revealed. Beaumarchais was indeed acquitted in the case that opposed him to Judge Goezman; the latter was the reporting judge in his trial regarding the Paris-Duverney inheritance which ruined and dishonored the author. Beaumarchais accused Goezman of corruption and the judge in turn accused Beaumarchais of defamation and attempted corruption. Judge Goezman constitutes above all a symbol of the corruption of the new Parliament erected by Louis XV and of the arbitrariness of justice. Imprimerie de Valleyre hardcover
