"25 ventose an 7me de la RÃ©publique" i.e. 15 March 1799. 233 x 188 mm. Top portion of address leaf torn away not affecting text lacuna where seal was broken small marginal tear. 2 Autograph letter signed in French to Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais 1773-1842. 1 page plus integral address leaf. N.p. 19 May 1819. 207 x 175 mm. Light marginal soiling. 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 LacÃ©pÃ¨de brief extracts from several of his printed works and 2 biographical notices. Very good. From French naturalist LacÃ©pÃ¨de best known for his collaboration with Buffon on the continuation of the latter's monumental Histoire naturelle to which LacÃ©pÃ¨de 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 LacÃ©pÃ¨de's name in a prospectus for the Histoire naturelle; LacÃ©pÃ¨de 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." In the second letter written in the third person to genealogist Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais LacÃ©pÃ¨de 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 MÃ©moires 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 GÃ©nÃ©rale de la Noblesse de France. "Commines" refers to French historian and diplomat Philippe de Commines 1447-1511 whose MÃ©moires were published in 1524. . unknown books
