Bretagne - LE BRETON DE BLESSIN (Guillaume). Correspondence notebook. [Saint-Malo], 1841-1845. Autograph manuscript, with erasures and corrections. In-folio (30.2 x 19.5 cm) of (20) pp. plus 2 ff. left blank; paperback, untrimmed. The personal correspondence of a Saint-Malo merchant. This notebook, numbered "2" on the first page, contains 45 summaries of letters written by Guillaume Le Breton de Blessin to his family between June 26, 1841 and March 19, 1845. The recipients are Lucile Le Breton de Blessin, his sister, living in Pontivy (Morbihan), widow of Louis Marie Gaspard Cormier (9 letters), and Luc Le Breton de Blessin, his brother, living in La Costardais (Ille-et-Vilaine), husband of Henriette Renée de Guéheneuc (36 letters). Guillaume Le Breton de Blessin was born in Saint-Malo in 1779, into a family of shipowners and merchants. He was the son of Alain Le Breton de Blessin, Lieutenant of the Marshals of France, and Marie Hélène Eon. In 1810, he married Victoire Sophie Charlotte Augrain, born in Le Robert (Martinique) in 1790, who died in Saint-Malo on July 3, 1841 (her death is mentioned in the letter of July 12). She was the daughter of Gaud Laurent Augrain, a merchant in Fort-Royal, killed in the Morne Vert-Pré battle against Rochambeau in June 1793, and Marie Anne Charlotte Françoise Jaham de Courcilly, born in Le Robert and whose family had been established in Martinique since the 17th century. Guillaume Le Breton de Blessin died in Saint-Malo on May 23, 1845, two months after the end of this correspondence. Well-preserved document; a few annotations in pencil and ink in the margins.

[HERVEY DE SAINT-DENIS (Marie-Jean-Léon marquis d'). Les Rêves et les moyens de les diriger. Practical observations. Paris, Amyot, 1867. In-8, [1] f., 1 front in color, 496 pp. Red half-basane, smooth threaded spine, gilt title (period binding). Covers and spines slightly rubbed. Without title leaf. The frontispiece and title leaf are reproduced here in facsimile. Underlined in pencil, foxing in places. Cuts restored without loss of text on pp. 351-352 and 353-354. First edition of this rare work rediscovered by the Surrealists, who were fascinated by dreams and the imaginary. Although Hervey de Saint-Denis is better known as a sinologist than as a precursor of Freud, his study of dreams is worthy of note. When he was a teenager, he developed the habit of drawing his dreams: "I soon had a special album, in which the representation of each scene and each figure was accompanied by an explanatory gloss, carefully relating the circumstances that had brought about or followed the appearance". He attempts to elaborate a method "as to the psychology of dreaming in general, and as to the practical means of evoking or dismissing certain ideas-images while asleep, of guiding the mind in its spontaneous or voluntary movements, and finally of conducting one's dreams according to one's desires". He compares his own experience with all the authors who have written on the subject, from antiquity to his contemporaries, before concluding: "if the dream state does not enable us to maintain that intellectual equilibrium which is indispensable for accomplishing a work of the mind which is in every way reasonable, it can at least open up horizons to the ideal world which are unknown in real life". "This very curious book is a skilful summary of the Science of Dreams from the most remote antiquity to the present day, and analyzes all the works of any importance that have appeared on the subject. In addition to numerous anecdotes personal to the author, there are clear and precise instructions for repeating the author's highly unusual experiments in this branch of Psychic Science. It is a veritable Encyclopedia on the subject." Caillet (5123).
