1778WRCAM47211Londres but actually Paris 1778. Eight volumes with frontispiece portrait in first volume. 12mo. Contemporary calf spines gilt. Spines very chipped and worn hinges cracked. Boards crudely repaired at some corners and edges. Bookplate of James Monroe in front of each volume. Some foxing and dampstaining but generally clean internally. A good solid set with an impeccable provenance. In two black half morocco boxes. James Monroe's copy of Sully's MÉMOIRES which is in fact a very free adaptation by "M.L.D.L.D.L." i.e. Pierre Mathurin de L'Ecluse des Loges. Jefferson and Madison both considered this book required reading for American statesmen. It was included in the list of books that Madison prepared for Congress in 1783 and was "usually included in Jefferson's lists of recommended reading" Sowerby. Jefferson owned a copy of this same edition one of several 18th-century reprints of a work first published in 1638 recounting the nation-building of a great French statesman. Jefferson's copy acquired in 1788 was present when his library was acquired by the Library of Congress in 1815. <br> <br> James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson who was fifteen years Monroe's senior enjoyed a lifelong friendship from the time Monroe began his law studies with Jefferson in 1780. Both were Francophiles and in that regard Monroe may well have surpassed his mentor. A United States minister to France from 1794 to 1796 Monroe championed the French in defiance of his mandate to promote neutrality. No doubt he embraced French history and culture with a similar though less dangerous zeal. This set of books was quite likely one of many works that Monroe acquired during his years in France 1794-97 and 1803. In fact Monroe began acquiring French books as early as 1784 when Jefferson sold him twenty-five duplicate French titles; the list preserved in the Jefferson Papers does not however include a copy of Sully. According to the catalogue of Monroe's library reconstructed in 1967 by Gordon W. Jones French books comprised nearly one- third of Monroe's library which according to Monroe's own estimate approached nearly 3000 volumes. Based on Monroe's own manuscript catalogue the library sold at auction in 1849 and a small group of books retained by his descendants Jones was able to identify a total of some 450 titles many in multiple volumes - enough to suggest that Monroe's estimate was not exaggerated. <br> <br> Only a tiny portion of Monroe's extensive library has been preserved intact and copies from the library rarely turn up on the market. As of 1967 the Monroe Memorial Library in Fredericksburg housed some twenty- eight titles in fifty volumes. These are known to have belonged to Monroe because they descended through the family; most according to Jones do not have Monroe's bookplate. Only two other books belonging to Monroe are located by Jones both in the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia. Doubtless other works are scattered throughout various other public and private collections but the general lack of a bookplate makes these nearly impossible to identify. <br> <br> All of which makes this 18th-century edition of a classic French historical text complete with Monroe's bookplate in all eight volumes a welcome artifact that exemplifies Monroe's library and evokes Thomas Jefferson's early influence on James Monroe as a book collector and recalls the future president's experience as a young diplomat in the service of an infant republic. <br> <br> Several books from Monroe's library have appeared recently at auction. His copy of Necker's DE L'ADMINISTRATION DES FINANCES DE LA FRANCE 1784 complete in three volumes with his bookplate sold for $18750 at Christie Dec. 3 2007 while a single volume of a seven-volume set of Linnaeus also with his bookplate sold for $12500 at Christie's on June 12 2008. In the December 2007 sale Jefferson's set of this same edition of Sully sold for $43000. Gordon W.
