Two volumes. 254; 251pp. Original paper-backed red paper boards, paper labels. Some wear to spines, dampstain on spine of first volume. Stain near fore-edge of pp.241-254 of first volume. Otherwise remarkably clean and tight. Untrimmed. In a marbled paper slipcase with chemise. The first publicly available and comprehensive edition, after the privately printed components of 1778. Issued in the same year as the quarto edition. Choiseul was a noted French statesman, having entered diplomatic service after a distinguished military career. As ambassador to Vienna in 1757, he strengthened the Austrian alliance by conducting the first negotiations toward the marriage of Marie Antoinette to the future Louis XVI. As minister of foreign affairs (1758-70), he negotiated the several alliances between France and Spain, known as the Family Compact. Most notably, he played a chief role in negotiating the Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Years' War. Additionally, he restructured the army and navy, supported the publication of Diderot's ENCYCLOPÉDIE, and assisted in the suppression of the Jesuits. His anti-Jesuit actions caused him to fall out of favor with the powerful Mme. du Barry, Louis XV's mistress, and he was exiled from court in 1770. BRUNET 1847. GRAESSE 135. QUÉRARD, p.193.
