A propos de cet article

In French. I have very little information about these volumes. I've tried to look them up. No one appears to have a single volume of this title for sale anywhere on the Internet. Google makes a reference to it and dates its publication at 1788, which is the date at the bottom of the title page on both of these volumes. That plus the apparent rarity makes me think that they are likely First Editions. My guess is that the full set was likely either three or four volumes. Maybe you can research it. The condition of the volumes is Very Good, all the more so given their age. The covers of both volumes are very securely bound. I don't see any cracks or spaces inside the books. The pages of both volumes are tightly, perfectly, bound. So there are no binding issues in either of these books. You can see the covers in the photograph provided. There's a little bit of rubbing, scuffing, not too much. They're pretty clean. Both volumes have very slight loss around the top of the spine. The spines look pretty good, as you can see. Both volumes have the small bookplates of a Chauncey I. Clark. There is some superficial peeling of the paper around the bookplates and there is a small loss on the front blank end paper of Troisieme Partie. The pages in both volumes are in very good condition. They are also exceptionally clean. I didn't see any soiling, and there isn't any foxing. Nor has anyone written their name or anything else anywhere in either volume. There aren't any markings. And there aren't any attachments other than the bookplates. The only imperfections I saw in Seconde Partie was a lightly turned down corner crease on one page and a small shaded area on another page where something was likely left inside the book, and in Trosieme Partie two pages where the bottom quarter was cut too long and the previous owner folded the corner back into the book. I didn't see any tears or loss on any of the pages of text in either volume. There's a ribbon in each of the volumes. They are little bit creased. Due to the relatively light weight of the two volumes the cost for international shipping will be lower than the quoted shipping cost. It would likely be $23.00.
