174791802n. l.: s. n. 1747. Fine. s. n. n. l. 1747 10 x 16.8 cm Relié First edition of this work published by the Société du Bout-du-Banc the celebrated literary salon presided over by Mademoiselle Jeanne-Françoise Quinault and the Comte de Caylus. This intimate circle originally comprising eight members would gather on Mondays at dinner to exchange ideas and to write; at the close of each meal every distinguished guest was required to set down a few lines whether in the coarse poissard style or in a more refined vein on paper. It was in this context that Les Fêtes roulantes ou les regrets des petites rues came into being in the wake of the celebrations held in Paris in honour of the Dauphin's second marriage to Marie-Josèphe de Saxe. Pastiche binding in plum half-shagreen spine with five raised bands framed by gilt dotted fillets and six compartments decorated with gilt fillets and fleurons marbled paper boards gilt top edge pastedowns and endpapers in shell-pattern marbled paper. Some minor rubbing to the paper of the lower board corners slightly bumped. ""In his youth the Comte de Caylus had paid considerable tribute to the literature of fairy tales which the translations from Arabic and Persian by Galland and Pétis de la Croix had brought into fashion; one does not find him again in these artificial creations to which he returned when he was nearly seventy. But in the intervening years his character as a writer emerged and declared itself in accordance with his manners and tastes and in how propitious a milieu! The Société du bout du banc that academy of Gallic ribaldry presided over by Mademoiselle Quinault; those suppers at which an inkwell served as centrepiece and which La Chaussée d'Armenonville Voisenon Moncrif the Grand Prior of Vendôme Duclos Salley and Crébillon fils enlivened with their bawdy and bantering wit. All men of letters with little taste for philosophy all content to let the world go its own way and finding it perfectly satisfactory as it was all of that sacred flock of Epicurus somewhat transformed by Circe in which each member is satisfied or very nearly with what their presiding lady declared sufficient for Duclos the least fastidious among them. The popular literature of the eighteenth century that is to say literature which took the common people as the subject of its observations and tableaux was born within this company of mirth and folly and the Comte de Caylus was its natural father and its foster father; it took its first lively flights in those ""Écosseuses"" 1739 those ""Étrennes de la Saint-Jean"" 1742 those ""Mémoires de l'Académie des colporteurs"" those ""Avantures des bals des Bois"" those ""Fêtes roulantes"" 1748 a veritable magic lantern of Parisian popular life .""

197255358Pittsburgh PA: University of Pittsburgh Press 1972. First edition. Near fine in a near fine jacket. Inscribed first printing of Levis's first poetry collection one of the most important debuts of the 1970s. While Levis's WRECKING CREW is more overtly political than his later work it forms the beginning of what was to become "a towering body of work by one of the great American poets of the 20th century" Elisa Gabbert. In the years since his premature death at the age of just 49 in 1996 Levis's work has only grown in reputation and stature and as such books signed by him remain uncommon especially with so warm and revealing an inscription. The launch of a major poetic voice. 8'' x 5.5''. Original full orange cloth. In original unclipped $5.25 color pictorial jacket designed by Gary Gore. 8 64 pages. Inscribed by Levis on the half-title: "For Joe / These poems / written not far from / adolescence & / probably they / show it. / Larry." Additionally signed by Levis on the title page. Some light toning rubbing to jacket. Trace shelfwear here and there. Overall clean and sharp. University of Pittsburgh Press unknown
17543693<p>A lovely copy of this scarce novel by the Comte de Caylus first published in 1742. An aristocratic dilettante Caylus was a popular novelist and writer of short stories or <em>contes badines</em> - ranging from fairy tales to sentimental intrigue and oriental fables - which are always witty and usually slightly disreputable. Alongside this reflection of his place in the gayest circles of Paris society Caylus was also a great collector of art and antiquities a scholar and connoisseur painter etcher and patron of contemporary artists. His major work of scholarship <em>Recueil d'antiquités égyptiennes étrusques grecques romaines et gauloises</em> is increasingly recognised for its significant importance in the development of modern archaeology.</p><p><em> Soirées du Bois de Boulogne</em> is a loosely entwined collection of six short stories or 'soirées' set in an apartment near the Bois de Boulogne where the hero the comte de Trémaillé has been sent to recover his health after an injury sustained at the Battle of Clausen. After happily spending a week there taking the air in the park and content with his books for company early one morning he is surprised to see a carriage arriving at his door with several ladies and a large entourage. Discussing their recent histories and swapping stories of unhappy liaisons his companions who include English visitors as well as French compatriots decide to narrate to one another the stories of their lives. The names have of course as the dedication makes clear been changed.</p><p>Second Edition. <em>Two volumes 12mo 138 x 68 mm pp. xii 265; iv 280 text fairly browned in part</em> <em>in contemporary red morocco covers with triple filet gilt flat spines ruled in compartments with sunburst tool in each compartment lettered and numbered in gilt marbled endpapers gilt edges gilt dentelles with an unidentified red heraldic booklabel stamped in gilt and the heraldic bookplate of Baron James de Rothschild in each volume.</em></p><p>OCLC lists BN BL Leeds Danish Royal Library Augsburg Goettingen Koninklijke Bibliotheek Sainte Genevieve; for the 1742 edition OCLC adds Princeton and Ottawa.</p><p>Cioranescu 16256; Jones p. 78; Gay III 1123.</p>
