Couverture souple. Etat : Très bon. Edition originale. In-8° broché en feuilles relié par une cordelette, tel que paru, 48 pages. Charles-Gilbert, vicomte Morel de Vindé, né le 20 janvier 1759 à Paris où il est mort le 19 décembre 1842, est un magistrat, agronome et littérateur et homme politique français. D'une ancienne famille installée dans le Cambrésis au xiiie siècle (Morel de Vindé, de Foucaucourt et de Boncourt), Charles Gilbert Morel de Vindé est né à Paris le 20 janvier 1759 sous Louis XV de Charles-François Morel de Boistiroux, seigneur de Vindé, du Meix, de Courtavant et de Bricot, conseiller du roi en ses conseils et président en la Cour des Aides de Paris, et d'Anne-Catherine Paignon-Dijonval. Il devient très tôt orphelin : sa mère décède six jours après sa naissance, et son père en août 1762. Il n'a alors que quatre ans et demi lorsqu'il est, semble-t-il, confié à la tutelle ou du moins à la garde de son grand-père maternel, Gilbert Paignon-Dijonval (1708-1792) de Sedan, qui sera à l'origine de sa fortune, de son sens des affaires et de son goût pour les arts et les sciences. Suivant les documents et les lieux, il est connu sous le nom de vicomte de Morel-Vindé ou vicomte Morel de Vindé. Dès 19 ans, en 1778, il est nommé conseiller des enquêtes au Parlement de Paris, dans la droite ligne de ses aïeux. L'année suivante, il est appelé sans sa participation à présider l'un des six tribunaux de Paris (quartier des Tuileries), fonction qu'il accepte dans l'espoir d'y trouver l'occasion de servir le roi. Il adopte avec modération les idées nouvelles de la Révolution française. Ainsi, le 28 février 1791, il sauve des suites de cette soirée les huit serviteurs du roi arrêtés au château. Après la fuite manquée du roi, il est proposé, le 2 juillet 1791, comme précepteur du Dauphin, mais il n'est pas agréé. Il juge alors que sa position à Paris devient dangereuse, et que sa situation de fortune, considérable, l'expose à tous les dangers (il avait recueilli les riches successions de ses grands-parents). Il démissionne de ses fonctions de juge et prend la ferme résolution de se tenir éloigné de toutes les fonctions publiques, disparaissant de cette vie politique beaucoup trop risquée, à laquelle d'ailleurs il ne reviendra jamais vraiment. Pour avoir un constant et plausible prétexte de refus, il affecte à partir de cette époque de se livrer exclusivement aux travaux agricoles, que d'ailleurs il entend fort bien. Mais il ne se trouve pas moins exposé aux périls qu'il avait appréhendés. Lors des massacres de Septembre (1792), il est désigné comme l'une des victimes, et on vient à son domicile pour l'arrêter. Heureusement, il est absent, et il réussit ultérieurement à se soustraire aux rigueurs de la Terreur. Il se consacre alors à la culture des lettres et des sciences et à des travaux d'agronomie. Se livrant à des observations et à des expériences agricoles, il publie sur la culture et sur les troupeaux de nombreux mémoires, qui lui valent le titre de membre ou de correspondant des sociétés d'agriculture de Paris, de Versailles, de Lille, de Caen, de Toulouse, etc. Ses publications sur le mérinos lui valent d'être nommé en 1808 correspondant de l'Académie des sciences pour la section d'économie rurale. Il n'a pas d'autre titre que ces travaux, pour qu'à la Restauration, il soit fait chevalier de l'« Ordre royal » de la Légion d'honneur, le 6 décembre 1814, et, à la deuxième Restauration, promu pair de France et baron héréditaire par deux ordonnances du 17 août 1815, puis enfin baron pair en 1817. Il siégera jusqu'à sa mort à la Chambre haute, mais en n'y paraissant que rarement, remplissant un rôle aussi effacé que sous les deux règnes précédents, évitant les divers procès politiques qui y seront déférés. Toutefois il votera pour la mort dans le procès du maréchal Ney.

FIRST EDITION. 170 x 97 mm. (6 5/8 x 3 3/4"). LOVELY GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT, BY CUZIN (stamp-signed on front doublure and by the doreur Maillard on rear doublure), covers bordered by French fillet and decorative roll, raised bands, spine compartments with large central fleuron, volute cornerpieces, gilt titling, SCARLET MOROCCO DOUBLURES with border of plain and decorative rules, tulip roll, and oblique daisies at corners, leather hinges, morocco free endpapers and flyleaves, all edges gilt. WITH SIX ENGRAVED PLATES IN TWO STATES (before letters and etchings) by François Godefroy after Louis-Joseph Lefèvre. A Large Paper Copy. Cohen-de Ricci, col. 739 ("jolie figures"); Vicaire V, 1148. â A SPLENDID COPY inside and out. This unsurpassable copy of a Medieval romance with charming illustrations is offered here in a sparkling binding by an artisan who rose from nothing to become one of the masters of his craft. The work of the binder Cuzin was so well known and so highly esteemed that he was responsible for establishing what was called the "Cuzin style." Devauchelle says that this style was copied by Cuzin's colleagues, but was never equalledFrancisque Cuzin (1836-90) was born in the provinces, and apprenticed at the age of 13 to Tiersot, a binder in Bourg who recognized the boy's potential and devotion to his craft and managed to find him a place in a Paris atelier. Beginning his Paris career with trade binders, he worked his way up to the lofty premises of Trautz-Bauzonnet before boldly setting up shop on his own in 1861 with just 100 francs of capital. He quickly made a name for himself, according to Beraldi, by binding earlier books with fine engravings in elegant period-style bindings--a specialty shown off to good effect here. Bibliophiles began to support his work financially, and he became one of the great Parisian binders of the day. For some years, Cuzin was obliged to outsource his gilding work to the doreurs at Marius Michel and Lortic; eager to move this work in house, he managed to lure the talented Léon Maillard from Lortic to his workshop by agreeing to let him sign his work on the rear inside cover, as here. Maillard worked for Cuzin from 1876 to the end of 1881, allowing us to date our binding to this period. Author Morel de Vindé (1759-1842) was born into a well-connected French family, and was set to follow in his father's and grandfather's footsteps as a government counselor when the French Revolution intervened. Although sympathetic to the aims of the revolt, he recognized that his wealth and class put his family at risk, and he wisely retired to a country estate to pursue his interests in agronomy, in particular the raising and breeding of merion sheep. He wrote several respected books on that subject, including one that proposed microbes as a cause of anthrax, well before Pasteur's work on the subject. In addition, he used his pastoral retreat to pursue his interests in the arts and literature, writing three novels. The present work is an adventure set during the first Crusades; the author expounds on the brutality of the barbaric period, and praises the civilizing influence of women, drawing subtle parallels to the situation in France during the Reign of Terror. It is quite possible that the present copy is the one described by Cohen-De Ricci, who noted a Large Paper Copy with plates in the two states seen here, bound in morocco with doublures by Cuzin, which sold for 500 francs at the Delbergue sale (lot 204)--the highest price paid for any of the copies of this work cited by them.
