Hippolyte TAINE. *Voyage aux Pyrénées*. Paris: Hachette, 1860. In-8, green half-calf with corner pieces, spine with 4 raised bands and decoration, gilt head (contemporary binding). Carteret, III-580 / Leblanc, 328 / Vicaire, VII-722 /// VI-554 (numbered 354)-(1f.) Third edition and first 8vo edition with revised and expanded text. Hippolyte Taine had made another trip to the Pyrenees in 1855 and again in 1860, after which he revised his work by removing various quotations and borrowings and giving it its final form. This edition is generally accepted as the first printing of the 341 illustrations in the text—48 of which are full-page—woodcuts by Lavieille, Pannemaker, Piaud, and others, 335 of which are based on works by Gustave Doré. In fact, a few had previously appeared in *Le Journal pour tous*, and 64 were reprinted from the 1855 in-12 edition. A fine copy despite slight scuffing on the binding, a marginal tear, and a corner missing.
