The Count d'Artois friend to Marie Antoinette and lover of the arts sought to stimulate a renewal in fiction with the printing of this collection of novels in 35 titles. The overall collection of 64 volumes was printed from 1781 to 1784 and edited by the order of Louis XVI. Just two years later the French monarchy would be in crisis; bankrupt and facing various political upheavals in the years leading up to the Revolution. This surviving set dates from the time of relative peace before upheaval and before the Count later reigned as Charles X in the post-Revolution era in 1824. These survive as early relics of the French monarch's cultural interests and endeavors. François-Ambroise Didot printed no more than 100 copies as a whole impression; 60 with the arms of the prince and at least 40 were on common paper without the Count’s heraldry as in these while others were produced on vellum See Ebert 4938. These works are extremely neatly printed on laid paper and stand as a precursor to Didot’s prolific typographic and printing career. Complete copies of the Count d’Artois’s collection are of utmost rarity; these portative sixteen make up an excellent union.

A Good copy. 4 95 1 blank pp. Frontis. 5 inserted plates. 12mo. 6-3/8" x 4-1/8" <br/><br/>"The original Melrose was Mailros meaning "the bare peninsula" in Old Welsh or Brythonic. This referred to a neck of land by the River Tweed several miles east of the present town where in the 6th century a monastery was founded associated with St Cuthbert. It was recorded by Bede and also in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with the name Magilros. This monastery and settlement later known as 'Old Melrose' were long abandoned by the 12th century. <br /> <br />King David I of Scotland took the throne in 1124 and sought to create a new Cistercian monastery on that site; however the monks preferred a site further west called "Fordel". So the monastery now known as Melrose Abbey was founded there in 1136 and the town of Melrose grew up on its present site around it. In the late Middle Ages its name was represented by a mell a mason's hammer and a rose for the Virgin Mary to whom all Cistercian abbeys were dedicated. The Abbey fell into ruin after the Reformation but is still a striking structure. Several Scottish nobles are buried there and a casket has been found which is believed to contain the heart of King Robert the Bruce. The casket has been re-buried in the Abbey. The Abbey ruins are cared for by Historic Scotland. <br /> <br />Nearby is the Roman fort of Trimontium Abbotsford House the home of Sir Walter Scott and Dryburgh Abbey where he's buried. Melrose is surrounded by the small villages of Darnick Gattonside Newstead Lilliesleaf and Bowden." Wiki Misses S. & C. Cameron / W. P. Nimmo, St. James Square hardcover books
