Amsterdam, Rey, 1761. 5 parts bound in 8 in-12 volumes, marbled calfskin, smooth, decorated spines, gilded coat of arms in the center of the covers, gilded fillet on the edges (contemporary binding). A fine copy bearing the coat of arms of François-Joseph Le Lièvre de La Grange, Marquis de La Grange et de Fourilles (1726–1808), lieutenant general of the king’s armies and commander of the Musketeers of the Guard. Some old repairs or minor wear, a few minor paper defects, including cutouts in the title pages resulting in the loss of a few letters in the publisher’s address—likely to conceal a previous owner’s name.
