In-12 Bradel style, red morocco-embossed half-basane, smooth spine decorated with blind-stamped fillets and the title in gilt letters (later binding). 47 pages, title medallion, headband, and initial. Minor scuffing, faint foxing. First edition of this anonymous pamphlet, in the form of a letter written in Paris on August 31, 1749, and addressed to Madame de R***.

A pleasant copy in a later binding.
