The author Berquin 1747-1791 specialized very early in children's literature being indeed the first to have done so. His children's books enjoyed great popularity and were very frequently reprinted throughout the nineteenth century. English and German children of the late eighteenth century knew Berquin's work very well. The greater part of l'ami des enfants consists of short theatrical pieces historical moral childish. but one also finds numerous short tales and romances letters as well as a shipwreck narrative. Thus one counts in the general table of contents 106 entries. L'ami de l'adolescence also contains moral theatrical pieces and other pieces more narrative or more clearly pedagogical; one should note La relation d'un naufrage sur l'île Royale and le Système du monde mis à la portée de cet âge. Certain works are entirely devoted to instruction and pedagogy such as L'introduction à la connaissance de la nature notably through animal figures or the Entretiens sur les connaissances. Moreover it is not that Berquin was the first to extend this literature that is important it is rather that one can situate at this period the introduction of childhood into our cultures and Berquin is precisely an eloquent testimony to this. Furthermore it was undoubtedly among the first times that one found so many children represented in illustration. Renouard hardcover

179618540à Paris: imprimerie de Moutardier 1796. Fine. imprimerie de Moutardier à Paris 1796 10.50 x 14 cm deux parties reliées en un volume New illustrated edition of these Romances. One frontispiece and 13 unsigned figures and 44 pages of engraved music. Printed on heavy laid paper. Contemporary full tree-calf binding. Smooth spine decorated with arabesques and fleurons. Triple fillet border on covers. All edges gilt. Handsome copy. Light rubbing to corners and joints. Berquin's poetry enjoyed immense success and was consequently qualified as popular while it perfectly reflects European literature of the late 18th century and one sometimes feels the first Romanticism coming from Germany and England. Some poems are dark and theatrical full of Gothic reminiscences: « Sous la tour du château s'ouvre une enceinte affreuse/ Où jamais n'a percé le jour/ Les flots d'une vapeur infecte et ténébreuse/ Inondent cet impur séjour. » Under the castle tower opens a dreadful enclosure/ Where daylight has never pierced/ The waves of an infected and dark vapor/ Flood this impure dwelling. After devoting himself to poetry Berquin 1747-1791 was the first French author to specialize in children's literature. The music pages are by Cousin-Jacques a columnist of the period. On the endpaper manuscript gift inscription: A Claire de Caperoy. imprimerie de Moutardier unknown
