Hardcover. Condición: Good. 2 volumes. Both bound in full leather. All the boards are detached except for the back cover of the second volume. Titles printed in gold on maroon spine labels. Volume 1 has 251 pages. Volume 2 has 249 pages. The text block of volume 1 is cracked at page 144/145, though it's holding together at the moment. There is a charming pencil doodle on the first blank page of the first volume with a caption, "The two unfortunate Ladies." It shows two women with long hair and fine dresses. A story of the same name appears on page 114. Previous owner's name on the title page, "Anne Greaves." Another pencil drawing on the final blank page - this one a portrait of a woman in profile, against a black background. Same owner's name in the front of the second volume. Marmontel was a French scholar and writer who achieved some success before the Revolution and still managed to survive it. He died in 1799. This copy of his Moral Tales has been translated into English. It was first published in France in 1765.…

Two volumes bound and printed as one, 12mo in sixes, pp. 151; 147; first two leaves of volume II torn and repaired, without loss; a few minor stains; in modern half morocco, spine lettered in gilt. An early edition, but with a false imprint the list of booksellers is fictional. Although the volumes have separate pagination and signatures, they were almost certainly printed as one continuous process: volume I ends on N4, and volume II begins with A1-2, then moves to signature B, so I suspect that A1-2 are in fact N5-6.…

12mo. 6.5 x 4.25 inches. 234 pp. Bound in contemporary vellum spine, with ink title, over marbled spine and leather corners. Age related wear to extremities, including edges and corners. Browning of pages and foxing throughout, with a few small margin tears; otherwise a very good copy. Early copperplate gift inscription at head of title. Decorated by headpiece vignettes. Translation of a French work of fiction based on the life of the great Byzantine general, Belisarius (c.505-565) under the Emperor Justinian. It provides an allegory of bad treatment by an ungrateful ruler and indicates the author's support for religious toleration, for which it was banned in France. First published as Belisaire in 1767 and in English translation in the same year. By Jean-Francois Marmontel (1723-99), historiographer, Encyclopediste, author of numerous opera libretti and member of the Academie francaise from 1763. (ESTC T90752). FICTION FRENCH LIT.

1789. Two volumes bound as one. 134, [2], 124pp. Contemporary half-calf, marbled boards, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece, gilt. Extremities rubbed. Recent endpapers, later ink ownership inscription to front blank fly-leaf, occasional spotting, slight marginal chipping. A late eighteenth-century edition of Anglo-Irish author Oliver Goldsmith's (1730-1774) most renowned work; printed in an unusual typeface almost certainly suggesting continental publication - indeed ESTC records the imprint as being false. First printed in 1766, The Vicar of Wakefield would become one of the defining novels of the eighteenth-century; sadly the author was to profit little from the sensational success of the work, as Samuel Johnson had sold the rights for £60 in order to relieve Goldsmith from the pursuit of debtors. ESTC locates copies of this edition at only a single location in the British Isles (NLI), and a further six locations in North America (Columbia, McMaster, Philadelphia, Toronto, Wisconsin-Madison, and Yale). ESTC N45806. Size: 12mo.…
