1797178756London: Cadell and Davies 1797. A French Royalist's account of the defining event of the age Horatio Nelson's copy with his left-handed ink signature on the half-title "Horatio Nelson". This is an early example of Nelson using his left hand following the loss of his right arm at the unsuccessful attack on Santa Cruz Tenerife on 25 July 1797. The Marquis de Bouillé 1739-1800 a general and colonial administrator made a name for himself during the Seven Years War and in 1768 was appointed governor of Guadeloupe. During the American War of Independence he took part in successful operations in the West Indies. A convinced royalist in 1791 he was involved in the failed flight of the French royal family. He then fled abroad first to Prussia and then England where having assisted with military activities against Revolutionary France he died. His book's warm notice in the Monthly Review may have drawn Nelson's attention where Bouillé's "humanity and generosity in the West Indies" is remarked upon. Louis XVI's failed flight to Varennes is "related fully clearly and with a variety of interesting circumstances which are not to be found in any preceding publication". The review concludes by noting that his memoirs "are not calculated to please either the haughty aristocrat or the violent democrat". Octavo pp. xi i errata 564 16 ads. Original boards uncut. Housed in a custom quarter sheep solander box. Much of paper lost from spine contemporary manuscript title to same "Revolution" faint pencil inscription to front cover "Ld. Nelson" sides rubbed corners worn faint tidemark in gutter of title page and a few gatherings lightly toned throughout general foxing. A used copy perhaps having been employed in a shipboard library.

17012506"A Gringuenaude i.e. Paris: chez Vincent d'Avalos & Fleurimont Mordant rue du Gros Visage a l'Enseigne du Privé Conseil attenant l'Hôtellerie de la Fleur" 1701. 12mo 129 x 76 mm. viii 64 pp. Half-title. Expressive woodcut vignette on title a chamber pot and its contents. Occasional very light spotting else fine. 19th-century citron morocco sides gilt panelled spine gilt lettered longitudinally turn-ins gilt gilt edges pair of vellum flyleaves by Koehler with his signature on verso of front free endpaper. First Edition of a silly scatological spoof. Farts excrement latrines and their Rabelaisian synonyms provide characters' and place names and an endless supply of windy jokes in this ultimately tragic love tale. The hero Prince Croqu'Etron Sht-eater son of the sneaky Roi de Vesse Silent-But-Deadly-Fart falls in love with the lovely Princess Foirette Diarrhea daughter of his father's enemy the open-hearted Roi Petaut Loud Fart. Abetted by King Vesse's minister Constipati whose secret liaison with one of Foirette's governesses Lady Clisterine Enema makes him take the Prince's side Croqu'Etron persuades his father to replace war with dynastic marriage a gentler path to territorial aggrandizement. Love vanquishes all King Petaud gives Prince Croqu'Etron a handsome commode chair and the Kingdom of Caca finds peace but the newly married lovers meet their demise at the hands of the evil Prince Gadouard Manure who drowns them in vats of perfume and is punished by the king with the opposite fate being buried alive in you know what. This clever extended dirty joke complete with satirical preface and facetious printing permission dated from Laval 1 Sept. 1701 and a final selection of verses sung at the royal marriage at some point became associated with the fairy tale author Mlle. de Lubert ca. 1702-ca. 1779 whose style it appears to parody. Either through a misunderstanding or as a joke the book was even sometimes attributed to her notwithstanding both its contents and the date of the permission d'imprimer. This is the only 18th-century edition but the book's publishing history was garbled by Gay who describes two 18th-century editions dating the supposed first ca. 1701 based on the facetious permission and a second edition from ca. 1790; according to Gay only the second edition contains the section titled Contes et devis. which appear in this edition on pp. 56-64. Confused library cataloguers have thus dated this edition to ca. 1790. Its typography however points to an earlier date. Stanford University holds a manuscript of the text from the Phillipps collection with textual variants dated 1716. Reprints appeared in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
