Beschreibung

A rare early edition of the French translation of The History of Charlotte Summers; the author's imitation of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones (1749) and translated by Fielding's own French translator.

(signed Charpentier) plus 4 engraved plates (one in each volume), signed P. Aveline. Paper flaw or tear to pp. 185-188 in vol. 4, across much of each of the two leaves but with no loss of text. Nineteenth-century quarter calf, flat spines, gilt in an attractive "romantique" style. Slightly rubbed. A very good copy. [Rochedieu p. 109.]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1840
