Description
"Claude Joseph ROUGET DE LISLE - Essais en vers et en prose [Bound with] Henri-Alexis CAHAISSE - Mémoires de Préville [Bound with] Jean-Guillaume Antoine CUVELIER - Mes riens, mélanges en prose et en vers [Bound with] Denis Robin DE SCEVOLE - Ambigu littéraire ou tout ce qu'il vous plaira Very interesting factitious collection of pieces bound together in contemporary half basane, ornate spine, a little rubbed, in generally satisfactory condition, including: - ROUGET DE LISLE - Essais en vers et en prose published in Paris by the printing house P. Didot l'aîné in 1796, original edition of the author's works, including La Marseillaise. This is one of the rarest copies to include a signed autograph letter from the author, addressed "Au citoyen Cailhava", from the library of Jean-François Cailhava de l'Estandoux, a successful playwright of the late 18th century. The copy is complete with the hors-texte engraving by Charles-Etienne Gaucher after Jean-Jacques Le Barbier and the 4 engraved score pages at the end of the volume. Copies referenced with dispatch do not exceed a dozen, this one making its first appearance after having been kept well hidden in the middle of this collection of plays, probably composed by Adèle Cailhava, daughter of the addressee. 157pp + 4pp score. - Henri-Alexis CAHAISSE - Mémoires de Préville published by F. Guitel in Paris, 1812, edition published in the same year as the original by Guillaume, with no mention of the edition, but enhanced by a fine engraved portrait of Préville after Couché. These memoirs are dedicated to the great theater actor Pierre-Louis Dubus dit Préville, who represented the type of the perfect comedian and occupied the theatrical stage throughout the second half of the 18th century. 2pp + 288pp. - Jean-Guillaume Antoine CUVELIER - Mes riens, mélanges en prose et en vers, pensées ou réminiscences de différentes couleurs, avec quelques anecdotes, contes et moralités, published by Leprieur in Paris in 1806, first edition of this curious mixture whose curiosity is matched only by its rarity! This is the first part only. Some pages a little bumped with clumsy restorations. 9pp + 160pp - Denis Robin DE SCEVOLE - Ambigu littéraire ou tout ce qu'il vous plaira, published in London and found in Paris, chez P. de Lormel in 1782, first edition of this mixture of various fables, songs and epigrams. 2pp + 126pp."
