MARMONTEL - Belisaire. Paris, Chez Tiger, s.d. (circa 1820); in-12, frontispiece, 108 + frontispiece, 108 pp. in half-brown calf binding, smooth spine decorated, edges speckled. Fine condition, 2 parts bound into 1. Jean-François Marmontel was an 18th-century writer. He published novels, historical essays, poetry and plays, and even contributed to the Encyclopédie, where he was very close to Voltaire. During the Revolution, he became close to Necker, and was often suspected by revolutionaries of being a royalist sympathizer.
