SULLY, Duke of. Memoirs of Maximilien de Bethune, Duke of Sully. London [i.e., Paris], n.p., 1778. In-12 (16.5 x 9.5 cm), marbled sheepskin, plain spine, title and volume number labels. Speckled edges. Contemporary binding. 8 vols. (of 8) uncollated. Scuffs on the bindings, a scratch on the spine of vol. IV, and some wear on the covers. The portraits of Maximilien de Bethune and Henry IV are missing. A handwritten note in the margin of p. 403 (vol. VIII). A fine and highly regarded 18th-century edition of the Memoirs of Henry IV’s great minister, which rank among the major sources for the history of the reign of the last Valois kings. It contains interesting details about the private lives of the king and his minister, as well as the intrigues of the court. This celebrated edition is notable for the abundance of notes by the Abbé de l’Ecluse des Loges. At the end of Volume 8 is “Le Supplément aux Mémoires,” which is a critique and attack on the edition produced by l’Ecluse, alleged to distort Sully’s original work.
