First edition of this precious and rare collection of tales and short stories. The complete collection should comprise 14 volumes, but it is extremely rare to find it in its entirety. We have here the first five published between 1786 and 1788, containing French as well as Greek and Latin pieces. The first volume is headed by Réflexions sur le conte by Dorat. There are also three unsigned frontispieces, the first of which is printed in red. These first five volumes are joined by two others in the same series, respectively entitled Les Folies sentimentales, ou l'égarement de l'esprit par le cœur, Recueil d'Anecdotes nouvelles, and Nouvelles folies sentimentales, ou folies par amour; précédées De la Folie par haine, avec la Bague d'Hébé, Conte érotique; pour faire suite à la Bibliothèque choisie de Contes, both dated 1786 by Royer. EXEMPLES ON VELIN PAPER IN IN-8 FORMAT, the current edition being in-18 format. Very fine set, uniformly bound in contemporary morocco. Spines very slightly faded. Small light spotting on top of frontispiece of volumes 2 and 3. The last two volumes were volumes XII and XIII; the numbers have been partly erased to leave only I and II.
