Memoirs of Henri de Campion, Lord of Feuguerei, Boscferei, La Lande, and Feuc, gentleman-in-waiting to François de Bourbon-Vendôme, Duke of Beaufort, and Colonel-Lieutenant of the infantry regiment of Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Longueville (...). Paris, Strasbourg; Treuttel and Würtz, 1807. One volume, in-8, in period half-basane, with a plain, decorated spine. A rare first edition of these valuable memoirs covering the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV, published and annotated by General de Grimoard based on a manuscript that is now lost. A gentleman and officer, Henri de Campion (1613–1663) was involved in the major military and political events of his time. After serving in the royal armies in Lorraine, Franche-Comté, Roussillon, and Italy, he became an associate of the Duke of Beaufort and was implicated in the “Cabal of the Importants,” directed against Mazarin in 1643.
