Together 2 letters enclosed in cloth portfolio stamped "P.V.H." in gilt on the front cover; accompanied by several printed items including 2 engraved portraits of Lacépède brief extracts from several of his printed works and 2 biographical notices. Very good. </p> <p>From French naturalist Lacépède best known for his collaboration with Buffon on the continuation of the latter's monumental Histoire naturelle to which Lacépède contributed eight volumes including the five-volume Histoire naturelle des poissons 1798-1803. These volumes were issued by the French publisher Saugrain to whom the first letter above is addressed. Saugrain had apparently wanted to feature Lacépède's name in a prospectus for the Histoire naturelle; Lacépède responded by stating that although he was "as much touched as flattered by the esteem and affection you are pleased to show me" he was "far from believing" that his name "might add to the success of the edition of the Histoire naturelle that you are undertaking." He asked Saugrain that if the prospectuses had not yet been printed "everything concerning me" should be removed "as useless and too little merited." </p> <p>In the second letter written in the third person to genealogist Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais Lacépède informed his correspondent that he was returning "the article Saint-Allais was so kind as to send me and to which I made a short addition because the Mémoires of Philippe de Commines were on my desk." He further promised to send a certified copy of a genealogy to the French city of Vienne which he would deposit "with great pleasure" in Saint-Allais's collection. Saint-Allais was the head of the Bureau Générale de la Noblesse de France. "Commines" refers to French historian and diplomat Philippe de Commines 1447-1511 whose Mémoires were published in 1524.</p> . unknown
