Description

Games - DUSAULX (Jean). De la Passion du jeu, depuis les temps anciens jusqu'à nos jours ; dédié à Monsieur. Paris, Imprimerie de Monsieur, 1779. 2 parts in one vol. in-8, porphyry calf, ornate smooth spine, Havana marbled title page, triple gilt fillet framing the covers, marbled boards (period binding). First edition: the work can be seen as a development of Lettre et réflexion sur la fureur du jeu (1775, second edition in 1777). Jean Dusaulx himself had been seized by this all-consuming passion during his long stays in garrison at Cassel, then at Lunéville (he was Commissaire des Guerres). It eventually ruined him. Very small loss at tail cap, otherwise a superb copy.
