First Printings. 3 volumes, pp. 2088. A bibliographical A to Z of French writers of the day. In contemporary deluxe bindings by Anderssons (Stockholm) in half-leather, with raised bands and gilt tooling, marbled boards and edges, and decorative endpapers. Attractive ex-libris plate to each front pastedown along with a small library label from an old book auction-house.

At the rear of volume II there are some random spots to the final few leaves indicative of some kind of spillage as opposed to foxing, otherwise the books are free from spotting. The rather cheap paper-stock has browned in each volume. All three volumes are rubbed and bumped at the corners with loss of the marbling at those places but otherwise the bindings are in Fine condition - a remarkable, handsome set.
