The bookseller-auctioneer Barrois contributed a biography of Falconet which precedes the catalogue. A massive author-index follows the work. / The catalogue is representative of Falconet's entire library. A unique feature of this catalogue is that the 11000 books that were donated to the Bibliotheque du Roi known today as the Bibliotheque Nationale are listed in the work with brackets around them an unusual and exclusive feature of this work not seen elsewhere. / Falconet's library consisted of about 45000 books. He liked to lend his books. As early as 1742 he asked the king that all the books in his library that were not in the king's library should be given to him after his death. About 11000 rare books and others who were not there entered the King's library. The usufruct had been preserved and the King in gratitude had given him a pension of 1200 livres. These books were not included in the sale of his library but they are mentioned in the Library Catalog of the late M. Falconet physician written by Marie-Jacques Barrois in 1762. / Camille Falconet belonged to an old Lyonnaise family. He is the son of Noel Falconet a doctor of medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier and Marguerite Monin. His great-grandfather Charles Falconet was originally from the city of Exilles Savoie and a doctor recognized by the House of Savoy. His grandfather Andre Falconet was doctor of Marguerite de Valois first wife of Henri IV. They had a municipal office in the city of Lyon. His grandfather is known for his correspondence with Guy Patin. After his studies in Paris he was received doctor in Montpellier. His grandfather sent him to Paris to continue his studies. He did his studies at the College du Cardinal-Lemoine. After finishing his rhetoric at 14 he was recalled to Lyon where he studied philosophy. Then he went to Montpellier to study medicine. At the request of his father he moved to Paris in 1707. He quickly became famous. He was attached to the houses of Lorraine Bouillon Villeroi and Pontchartrain. The Grand Esquire assured him the office of doctor of the big and small stables of the king. In 1709 he was a doctor of the Chancellery. The Duchess de Bouillon brought her into the brilliant society that met at her house. He was the doctor of the Duke de Bouillon and his daughter Mademoiselle de Bouillon. One of his friends Claude Villemot parish priest of Lyon tried to bring him back to Lyon. He wrote New System or new explanation of the movement of planets that Camille Falconet translated into Latin. / At the end of the reign of Louis XIV he was often consulted with his father to prolong the life of the king. He is also consulted on the health of Louis XV child. / He inherited a big fortune that he devoted in part to the creation of a vast library. He had loved books in his youth according to the scholar Dreux du Radier "sincere and even abrupt man in appearance he was sought after by strangers as citizen his varied and extensive knowledge his manner of writing and to speak . . . his particular collections on the sciences his memory and his beautiful library which is today a rich part of that of King attracted him the visits of many persons of letters. you have persons of merit and the most distinguished reputation I have seen several times MM d'Alembert and Diderot Dumarais Rameau the account of Caylus the Marquis d'Herouville."

First Edition "royal" presentation copy of a treatise on the origins of language and on written symbols the work of a wealthy collector dealer in stolen manuscripts and ardent Royalist. Joseph Barrois was an erudite but eccentric and indeed crooked bibliophile who became fatally involved with the notorious and unpunished book thief Guglielmo Libri who in his capacity of inspector of public instruction traveled throughout France surveying libraries and pillaging them. Barrois is known to have taken in "Libri's" manuscripts and had them rendered unrecognizable through rearrangement of quires rebinding mutilation etc. The unsigned binding was confidently attributed by Bernard Breslauer to the Parisian binder Thompson who assisted Barrois in these fraudulent activities. Barrois also compiled his own valuable manuscript collection about ten percent of which stemmed from compromised sources. Foreseeing Libri's conviction he had the collection discreetly shipped to England in 1849 and sold to the Earl of Ashburnham cf. Delisle pp. xl-xlii; most but not all were eventually repurchased by the French government. Convicted in 1850 Libri himself remained comfortably in England where he was wined and dined by the likes of Panizzi Keeper of Printed Books at the British Museum. In the present work published the year of Libri's conviction Barrois explores the origins of language in gesture and phonetics postulating an original universal Indo-European language shared by Assyria India and China. He traces its roots through cuneiform hieroglyphics and classical Greek and declares the Phoenician digital or finger-alphabet to have been the source of many other writing systems including Lap Sanskrit Chinese Aztec and other Amerindian languages. The work contains chapters on classical mythology the mnemonics of Homer theatrical pantomime in Terence and Vergil sacred letter symbolism in various religions and detailed analyses of symbols and letterforms. A 35-page glossary of Greek words concludes the treatise. The lithographs reproduce lapidary inscriptions and relevant details from manuscripts and other works of Antiquity or the Middle Ages found in the Louvre the museums of Berlin and other largely French collections.Â Maxime Lalanne who executed the lithographs was the author of a manual on etching; he may have been related to the Ludovic Lalanne who worked with Henri Bordier on the commission charged with documenting Libri's thefts a thankless task honorably fulfilled which led to Libri's conviction in 1850. In the inserted autograph letter written on vellum Barrois presents this large-paper copy to the pretender to the title of Henri V "whose unfortunate insistence upon his divine rights and upon the scrapping of the Tricolore in favour of the white standard of the Bourbons probably cost him the throne" Breslauer having had it regally attired in a sumptuous neo-fanfare binding probably by Thompson a Parisian binder of English origin who signed very few of his bindings. The technically impeccable gold-tooling may have been the work of Thompson's finisher Marius Michel pÃ¨re. Ramsden notes that Thompson's "passion for book-collecting is said to have dissipated his earnings as a binder."
