The author was a Huguenot minister who spent much time in England but was living in France at the time of publication.A former owner of this book states that the binding was done by Francisque Cuzin, the great 19th-century Parisian craftsman, but there is no proof of that, aside from the exceptionally fine tooling, which could have been done by Cuzin or one of his students and imitators.
