1784FB949/6B<p>Tan calf full binding. Red and green titles plate with gilt lettering and banding<strong>.</strong></p><p><strong>A precious and historic copy </strong> The Bachelor of Salamanca is the last novel by Lesage 1668-1747. "After the success of The Lame Devil and Gil Blas de Santillane it is still a pseudo-Spanish setting that Lesage gave to his last novel of adventure and satire. It is the story of the adventures of a young Spanish bachelor who works as a tutor. For Lesage it was an opportunity for satire to the detriment of the ruling classes: large and small nobility enriched bourgeoisie clergy. He makes us know along the way the activities of these people who live from this society while remaining on the margins: tutors adventurers matchmakers and who constitute a colourful and equivocal world where those who succeed can only achieve it by rising by intrigue above their condition. It is already with less violence but with a barely concealed cynicism the verve of Beaumarchais in The Barber of Seville that we find in the work of Lesage who is a few decades ahead of the spirit of his time".</p><p><strong>Alain-René Lesage</strong> 6 May 1668 – 17 November 1747; older spelling <strong>Le Sage</strong> was a French novelist and playwright. Lesage is best known for his comic novel <em>The Devil upon Two Sticks</em> 1707 <em>Le Diable boiteux</em> his comedy <em>Turcaret</em> 1709 and his picaresque novel <em>Gil Blas</em> 1715–1735.</p> P Wogan. hardcover

173417525Probably Lorient: La Compagnie perpétuelle des Indes 1734. 1100 by 680mm. 43.25 by 26.75 inches each sheet. Three manuscript charts on two different scales but adjoining pen and red and black ink with colour wash on paper laid down on blue linen signed within the title cartouche lower sheet only on a paper overlay upper right. A magnificent series of manuscript charts plotting a continuous route of nearly two thousand nautical miles for the voyage of Captain Louis Dryas in the French East Indiaman La Paix from the northeastern exit of the Sunda Strait to the estuary of the Pearl River in China: "Route du Vaisseau la Compagnie de Indes Paix Capitaine Monsieur Louis Dryas allant en Chine en 1733". Possibly a private commission perhaps to commemorate one of the earliest voyages undertaken by the La Compagnie perpétuelle des Indes according to new regulations that came into effect in September of 1733. These clearly defined the use of company vessels according to their destination reserving voyages to China for the company's largest vessels. Larger ships meant larger cargoes and so greater financial reward. Many of these larger vessels had until recently been warships employed in the War of Polish Succession which had ended with the "Pacte de Famille" between France and Spain in February of 1733. The name of the vessel "La Paix" is undoubtedly significant. The first and most southern sheet has all the hallmarks of grand design. It is drawn on a very large scale "Echelles des Lieux Francois a 20 au degrees" has an unfinished but very decorative title-cartouche two large decorative compass roses and the port of Batavia on the north coast of Java is drawn in some detail. It extends from the northern most exit of the Sunda Strait to the entrance to the western tip of Bangka island and Palembang in Sumatra. Depth soundings are given throughout. The untitled middle sheet while drawn on the same scale is altogether less decorative perhaps indicating a waning of funds for the cartographer. Nevertheless the chart shows clearly and accurately the islands of the Singapore Strait including the unnamed island of Singapore and the east coast of Malaysia as far north as Tioman Island. The northernmost sheet also untitled is drawn on a much smaller scale continues the voyage to the South China Sea and includes the coastlines of Malaysia Cambodia Vietnam Hainan to the coast of mainland China beyond Hong Kong where the voyage ends. Annotations possibly in the hand of Captain Dryas himself indicate where La Paix was made to remain at "anchorage" at "Pto Caby" and the "Embouchure dela Riviere de Canton". The geography of the islands in the estuary is still a bit muddled with present-day Hong Kong Island appearing as "I Lantoa" opposite the mainland labeled as "Boca Lantao". Macao appears as a distinct island. Nevertheless Sage's map precedes the publication of Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon D'Anville's 'Carte particuliere de l'entrée de Canton' which attempts to accurately chart the islands of the Pearl River estuary by a year; and Jacques Nicholas Bellin's by fifteen. The north coast of Borneo appears in some detail and the westernmost coasts of Luzon and Mindanao in the Philippines but Manila is just off the chart. The French East India Company - Compagnie des Indes - had several iterations after its founding in 1664. The second company La Compagnie perpétuelle des Indes fell victim to the ambitions of the infamous financier John Law and so it struggled during the 1720s and few French expeditions to China were commissioned. However during the 1730s about two Compagnie voyages were achieved a year until 1745 when the war of the Austrian Succession and then the Seven Years War caused a hiatus in trading relations.
