A few pages faintly printed occasional light foxing minor staining to pp. 280-281. 19th-century jansenist red morocco turn-ins gold-tooled gilt edges extremities scuffed. Provenance: Martine-Marie-Pol de Béhague comtesse de Béarn 1870-1939 by descent to her nephew Hubert de Ganay and thence to his heirs; bookplate with initials H H.A traveler's guide to Paris in the final days of the Sun-King's reign filled with information on Parisian gastronomic and material culture and its many purveyors First Edition second issue with the same sheets as the 1715 edition and only the title reset.Louis Liger whose name is given in the title of the 1715 issue replaced here by the price quarante-cinq sols was an agronomist and compiler of several popular works on domestic economy gardening and agriculture. The present anecdotal guide to Paris an outlier in his oeuvre is narrated by a fictional visitor from Germany who relates 13 days spent exploring the city: a conceit familiar to modern readers of guidebooks and the NY Times but which must have had the snap of novelty then. Each day is devoted to a different neighborhood starting with the Ile de la Cité Notre-Dame etc. moving on to the Marais the Halles Faubourg St. Honoré St. Germain etc. and ending with several faubourgs all now part of Paris: the hospice of the Salpêtrière the Invalides the Observatory and the Champs-Elysées at the time a pleasant leafy esplanade where masked couples partied and flirted. Described are the churches monuments private residences and inhabitants of each quartier including local thugs madames prostitutes and their johns: the descriptions are interwoven with personal anecdotes meals concerts a mugging a brawl over a woman etc. Following this narrative section are 13 chapters or "Articles" on specific topics with practical information on lodging and commodities. The first five chapters cover churches not previously mentioned schools academies lectures private tutors and libraries including the Bibliothèque royale previously open on Tuesdays but now because of the overflow of books closed to all except those who "are known and have friends there" although foreigners are well received p. 316 the Bibliothèque of the Abbaye de Saint-Victor designated a public library in 1654 and private or monastic libraries such as the Bibliothèques Ste-Geneviève and libraries of the Cordeliers or the Jacobins Dominicans. Follow a couple of chapters listing hôtels garnis hotels and hôtels particuliers private grand houses. Having dispensed with culture the narrator cuts loose and goes shopping. The remaining Articles portray a Paris chock full of riches culinary sartorial artisanal mechanical and artistic. A litany of the many public plazas where markets are held introduces chapters on butchers the fish market vegetable markets cheese vendors cork vendors very important candle-vendors mouth-watering descriptions of melons and pastries no need to single out the best patisseurs as they are in every quartier and a brief account of the "caffez" filled with mirrors and lights where nouvellistes and beaux esprits meet to hold conversations on les belles lettres to fortify themselves for which they consume prodigious amounts of coffee chocolate and various drinks no longer known like rossolis and populo both made with spirits cinnamon and sugar. Reluctantly leaving the Parisian table the author turns to every other item for sale in the city. While individual merchants are not named the clustering of professions by street in Paris made it easy to advise the reader where to find linen and textiles haberdashery fans ribbons and lace ready-made clothes used clothes tailors dress-makers theater costumes embroidery tapestries of many different kinds including of gilt leather tortoiseshell boxes children's toys coffee tins furniture mirrors crystal chandeliers objets de curiosité such as antiques porcelain paintings shells or gold and silver-inlaid objects and the goldsmiths and silversmiths who made them and conservators who restored them. For simpler needs the affluent male or female reader learns where to find bonnet-makers glove-makers perfumers furs and leather goods. And let's not forget wig-makers all 200 of them on the Quai des Augustins the many gadgets needed for carriages weaponry for war or the hunt garden implements construction materials such as pierres de taille and their manufacturers the metalworkers glaziers paper-makers shoemakers sculptors engravers and architects and finally laborers and domestic servants.Scarce.
