Count Autrey is most famous as an author and controversialist. As a young man he was a lieutenant in the regiment in Bourgogne. But he left his regiment in 1745 and retired to his estates, and devoted himself to the struggle of the encyclopedists and to the defense of the Christian religion. In philosophy he followed Diderot and Voltaire. This refutation of a work by Boullanger was intended to establish a firm basis for the ancient beliefs of the Christian religion, such as Noah's flood. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR3

pp. VIII [Preface by Theophile Gautier], 122 lithograph plates, each containing four drawings. Foxed. Folio. Plain marbled boards binding. "Gavarni was the pseudonym of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier. A great French caricaturist and lithographer, he was first known for his amusing drawings of costumes, which appeared in La Mode. Later he contributed satirical drawings to Charivari. In his early delineations of society he appeared more capricious than his great contemporary Daumier. However, Gavarni's last work, published mostly in L'Illustration, reflects a bitter attitude. His trip to London in 1847 resulted in drawings strongly condemning working-class conditions there. Gavarni produced over 8,000 drawings, watercolors, and lithographs." - Cambridge Encyclopedia. This collection "attests to the spontaneity and profundity of his observations. The great popular success of his caricature owed as much to the accompanying captions as to the richness of the drawing." Colta Feller Ives. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR3

Rollin was a brilliant educator whose most important works were written during his retirement. He was nearly sixty when he began this "Traite des Etudes", which explains his method of teaching and studying belles-lettres. It contains ideas which seem hackneyed now, but which then were new and revolutionary - for example: the necessity of studying national history; using school-books written in the vernacular; and the importance of mathematics and science in general studies. Rollin is most famous to collectors for his unfinished world history. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR3
Three volumes. Engraved frontis. 16 mo. Contemporary full leather binding. Spines dry. Some labels missing. "Louis XII (1462-1515), King of France, was the son of Charles, duc d'Orleans. He succeeded his father as duke. While still duke, he rebelled against the regency of Anne de Beaujeu and was imprisoned (1488), but was released (1491) by his cousin King Charles VIII, whom he succeeded (1498) on the throne. Immediately after his accession he ensured the continuance of the personal union of Brittany and France by having his first marriage annulled and marrying his predecessor's widow, Anne of Brittany. Thereafter the king and his minister, Georges d'Amboise, attempted to assert French claims in Italy. Louis conquered Milan and Genoa, but he failed to secure Naples, which he had conquered in alliance with King Ferdinand II of Aragon. By the treaties of Blois (1504), Louis attempted a compromise with Spain and with Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, who had so far remained an inactive opponent; the treaties subsequently collapsed, and the king's daughter Claude, whose marriage to Maximilian's grandson Charles of Austria (later Holy Roman Emperor Charles V) was to have been the keystone of the new entente, was betrothed to her cousin, Francis of Angouleme, later King Francis I. In 1507, Louis suppressed the revolt of Genoa, and in 1508 he joined the League of Cambrai against Venice, defeating the Venetians at Agnadello (1509). When his Italian territories were attacked (1511) by Pope Julius II's Holy League, he committed their defense to Gaston de Foix, but after Gaston's death (1512) his troops were forced by the Swiss (then the Pope's main allies) to evacuate Milan. In 1513 the Swiss routed his army at Novara while another army was defeated at Guinegate by Maximilian and King Henry VIII of England, also the Pope's allies. In 1514 he made a truce with all his enemies save Maximilian. Louis endeavored to rule France with justice and moderation, and was known as the 'Father of the People'."

47 p. 4to. Unopened. Uncut. Old dampstain. Sewn in plain wraps. The eminent surgeon and anatomist Jacques Tenon is best remembered today by a major Paris hospital that bears his name, as well as by a capsule to which the muscles of the eye are attached. But his study of hospitals and medical education in France is his real monument. Tenon, member of the Royal Academies of Sciences, Surgery, and Agriculture, and well connected to the reforming ministers of pre-Revolutionary France, was a pivotal player in the work of a group of scientist celebrities from the Academy of Sciences, under Crown sponsorship, to rebuild the municipal hospital of Paris (1785-1789). The reports he produced and great his 'Memoires sur les Hospitaux de Paris' (1788) remain the most widely cited and influential Enlightenment treatises on the architecture, goals, and operation of what was to become the modern hospital. This is an extremely scarce separate report on the problems of effectively studying anatomy - especially with the difficulty of securing appropriate cadavers (a problem which was plaguing physicians in Italy. England, and America as well). **PRICE JUST REDUCED! FR1

1 numéro in-folio (36,5x28 cm), 69me livraison, E. Ducher éditeur, Paris, s.d. (circa 1895), 8 pp. (pp. 81 à 88) Très bon état pour ce numéro de la revue d'architecture "Monographies de Bâtiments Modernes", relatif à un hôtel particulier construit vers 1895 au N° 87 de la rue des Sablons. L'architecte Léon Salvan est connu en particulier pour ses immeubles particuliers de la Villa Guibert, rue de La Pompe et pour d'autres hôtels particuliers du XVIe arrondissement. Ses constructions se caractérisaient pas un éclectisme complet, puisque cet architecte pouvait fort bien passer du style néo-Louis XV au style normand, en passant par l'Art Nouveau. Quant à l'hôtel particulier présenté ici, on peut a priori le rattacher au style néo-renaissance.
