ANGOULÊME (Louis-Antoine de Bourbon, Duc d'). Autograph letter signed "Louis Antoine" to the Duc de Piennes. Warsaw, December 9, 1802. One p. in-4; angular tear without lack reaching a few words. Emigration letter from the son of the Comte d'ARtois. "Having learned from the King, my dear Duke, that you were about to leave England to come here, and knowing your kindness, I beg you to ask the Duke of Gramont and Dutheil if they have anything to give you for me [Antoine-Louis-Marie de Gramont, Louis XVIII's companion in exile, and Nicolas-François Dutheil, an important cog in the King's spy network]. I had given some commissions to the Duc de Gramont, but perhaps he has not yet had the time to do so. I would also be infinitely obliged if you would bring me back four or five pretty dresses of canvas or something else, as you choose; whatever is prettiest and most fashionable. I will reimburse you here for what it costs, or Dutheil will reimburse you in London, at your option. Please believe, my dear duke, in the pleasure we shall have in seeing you here again, my wife and I, and in all our feelings for you..." Duc de Piennes and future Duc d'Aumont (1814), Louis-Marie-Céleste d'Aumont (1762-1831) initially pursued a military career. In 1791, he emigrated to Spain, where he served in Saint-Simon's legion, but left the country after the alliances reversed. Apart from service in the Swedish army, he was frequently at Louis XVIII's side in exile, in Mitau (1798), Warsaw (1801) and England (1809), where he enjoyed the friendship of the Prince of Wales.

Paris, Hachette, 1856. 20 volumes. 13 by 21 cm. Red half-maroquin, 5-rib spine, period, speckled edges. Binding in excellent condition (a small stain on the lower cover of one volume, the only mentionable flaw, not serious). Scattered light foxing, otherwise very good condition inside. Two fold-out facsimile plates, including a facsimile of the Duke's holograph will, reproduced using the Photography of Furne fils, making this one of the first books to be illustrated with photography. This is the first complete edition of the famous memoirs by Chéruel, who collated them from the original manuscript, preceded by a notice by Sainte-Beuve. It remains a reference edition, here in a sober but high-quality binding. A very fine copy, with the bookplate of Baron de Bellet.
