Cloth. Condición: Good. None Ilustrador. The letters of Mademoiselle Charlotte Aisse. In French. With a portrait of Mlle. Aisse to frontispiece. Mademoiselle Charlotte Aisse (a corruption of Haide), (c.1694 13 March 1733), French letter-writer, was the daughter of a Circassian chief, and was born about 1694. Her father's palace was pillaged by the Turks, and as a child of four years old she was sold to the comte Charles de Ferriol, the French ambassador at Constantinople. She was brought up in Paris by Ferriol's sister-in-law with her own sons, d'Argental and Pont de Veyle. Her great beauty and romantic history made her the fashion, and she attracted the notice of the regent, Philip II, Duke of Orleans, whose offers she had the strength of mind to refuse. She formed a deep and lasting attachment to the Chevalier d'Aydie, by whom she had a daughter. She died in Paris. Her letters to her friend Madame Calandrini contain much interesting information with regard to contemporary celebrities, especially on Mme. du Deffand and Mme. de Tencin, but they are above all of interest in the picture they afford of the writer's own tenderness and fidelity. With a previous owner's ink inscription to verso of front free endpaper. In a cloth covered binding. Externally, generally smart but with slight bumping, a small mark to front board and sunning to spine. Internally, firmly bound, age-toned throughout as is usually the case with French books, and slight foxing to front blanks but otherwise clean. Small ink notes to recto of rear free endpaper. Good. book.

Paris, Léopold Collin, 1806. In-12° (16 x 10), pp. XXV+296. Leg. mezza pergamena epoca, titolo in oro al dorso. Leggere fioriture, ma buon es. (11884) Lettere che ebbero una larga diffusione dopo la prima edizione del 1787, grazie anche ad alcune note scritte per la mano di Voltaire, apparse postume. Le lettere, che vanno dal 1725 al 1733 (anno della sua morte), forniscono un quadro interessante della società francese e dei salotti più colti, visto attraverso gli occhi di un'osservatrice singolare. Mademoiselle Aïssé, fanciulla Circassa fatta schiava nelle mani dei Turchi, fu riscattata nel 1698 all'età di 4 anni per 1.500 franchi da M. Ferriol, ambasciatore di Francia presso la Porta Ottomana. Portata in Francia, forse con finalità perverse, fu educata alla frequentazione della buona società, esercitò un grande fascino sui suoi contemporanei, ebbe molti corteggiatori ed anche un figlio naturale. Le note di Voltaire contribuirono alla diffusione di queste lettere. In apertura una Notice sur mademoiselle Aïssé, attribuita a Barante. Bengesco, II/n. 1911.
