An early copy of the Avantures de Telemaque Fils d'Ulysse or the "Adventures of Telemachus son of Ulysses" published six years after the First.

Text in French. Two volumes in one; additional title page for Tome II; pagination and collation reset. Title pages in black and red; with seventeen engraved plates throughout.
