Germain-François Poullain de SAINT-FOIX

Essais historiques sur Paris, pour faire suite aux Essais de M. Poullain de Saint-Foix

Chez A.G. Debray et Phillipe Lenoir, à Paris 1805, in-12 (10x17,4cm), 384pp. et 397pp., deux volumes reliés.


First edition, illustrated with a portrait of the author in lithography frontispiece. Half shagreen emerald mid nineteenth century. Back to nerves decorated with nets. Smear on spine and edges. Good practices. the work is a sequel to Trials of Poullain Paris Saint-Foix published nearly half a century earlier. It was given by the nephew of Poullain St. Foix. Along the same lines, it is a walk in the streets of Paris which thus serves as guiding thread to tell anecdotes and draw portraits of historical figures. "I will focus mainly anecdotes that my uncle could not relate ... I worked from notes I found in the manuscripts of my uncle." --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
