[GROSLEY (P.J.), LE FEVRE & DAVID]. Mémoires de l'Académie des Sciences, Inscriptions, Belles Lettres, Beaux arts, &c. Nouvellement établie à Troyes en Champagne. Liège [Troyes], Barnabé [Lefèvre], 1744. Following (with separate pagination): Lettre à M. Hugot, Me juré crieur de vin, et savetier à Troyes, pour servir de suite au Mémoires de l'Académie de cette Ville. And : Lettre sur les mémoires de l'Académie de Troyes by Le Fevre. This is the rarest of all first editions (with a reference to Volume I in the title, but the only one to appear, and therefore complete; the tomes disappears in subsequent editions) of this curious collection of mischievous, even scatological texts by P.-J. GROSLEY, André LE FEVRE and DAVID, whose deceptively serious title earned it a place in several libraries among the works of the most renowned Academies, which it rightly parodies. "Recueil de facéties qui a eu trois éditions, non compris celle qui fait partie de la collection des Œuvres de Caylus, en 12 vol. in-8. Of these three editions, all different in content, and which, for this reason, it would be good to bring together, the first [Lièges (Troyes), Barnabé, 1744] is the least common." Brunet. "These Mémoires were inserted in the collection of the Œuvres badines du comte de Caylus. It is well known that these bantering dissertations are the work of some young and gay Trojans, and especially Grosley, Lefebvre, etc. The volume contains: 'Dissertation sur l'usage de chier dans la rue du Bois', which is one of the largest in the city of Troyes. - Réflexions historiques, critiques et morales sur le proverbe : 99 moutons et un Champenois font 100 bêtes. - Dissertation on grapes. - Letter to M. Hugot, maître juré-crieur de vin et savetier à Troyes. - The banquet of the seven wise men renewed from the Greeks. - Dissertation on the custom of beating one's mistress, with notes and clarifications [...] Doctor J.F. Payen published an interesting notice on this curious and piquant collection in the Bibliographie universelle, 1848: 'Histoire sérieuse d'une Académie qui ne l'était pas: Recherches sur l'Acédémie de Troyes en Champagne'. [...] Collection of dissertations, reflections and memoirs on ridiculous and puerile subjects, an ingenious, witty and ironic satire of the often burlesque seriousness with which more famous Academies discuss matters often just as unimportant as those that occupy the Academy of Troyes. Grosley, a lawyer born in Troyes in Champagne, died in 1785, aged 67, composed this facetious piece with Lefebvre, his relative, friend and often collaborator (Viollet-Leduc)" Gay (Brunet III, 1596; Barbier III, 197; Gay III, 122). A good copy enriched with two rare pieces bound in fine on the Comédie Française: - Lettre de Me Darimath à Me Gaussin, sur la Comédie intitulée L'Heureux Retour, avec quelques réflexions sur la Comédie Française. Sl, sn, 1744. [1]-15 pp. - Observations amusantes et critiques sur l'Heureux Retour, le Quartier d'Hiver et sur la Comédie françoise,par un Ami de Mademoiselle Gaussin, à Monsieur Fagan. Slnd. pp. [3]-24. Large in-12 green half-chagrin, spine ribbed, gilt title (19th c. binding). Old foxing and dampening in places. Ex-libris JM.
