ref. 20681 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.
