About This Item
A la Haye [The Hague]: chez Abraham Troyel, Marchand Libraire a la grande Sale de la Cour, 1697. 2 works bound as 1. 5th ed.; (2nd ed.). 12mo., pp. [xii], 165, [I]; 160. Pagination of the second work matches the 1694 edition, possibly just an updated title-page. Woodcut motif to each title-page, initials and headpieces. Occasional pencil lines to margins. Closed tear (possibly a paper flaw) to pp.165-6 affecting text but without loss. Very dark brown contemporary calf, spine gilt, marbled endpapers. Spine label lost, a little rubbed, small piece of rear paste-down torn away, still very good. Recent bookplate of Peter Stewart Young of Tillingham to front paste-down; 'Wm. Barber' in an old hand, to title-page of first work; tiny label to rear paste-down, Cook's Books of Rottingdean(?). Two of the three galante works produced by the diplomat and member of the Académie Française, François de Callières, sieur de Rochelay et de Gigny (1645-1717). The first contains the latest courtly expressions and behaviours; the second, the correct usage of French spoken at Court, as opposed to middle-class expressions that should be avoided.
