- FABRE D'EGLANTINE (Philippe-François-Nazaire). Lettres familières et galantes. Hambourg et Paris, Richard, Caille et Ravier, Debray, s.d., (1796); 3 vols. in 16, spotted fawn basane, smooth spines with partitions and fleurons, pink and bottle title and tomaison, spotted edges (period binding). A good copy. First edition of Fabre d'Eglantine's private correspondence, which is also presented with the title Correspondance amoureuse; it is very rare and gathers 59 letters to Marie-Nicole Godin, his future wife, actress and relative of the playwright Lesage. The introduction is very severe for both the man and the playwright. Cioranescu, 27 965. A copy of the bibliophile and politician from Lyon, Justin Godart (1871-1956), with his ex libris stamped on the first endpapers and wet stamp. 300/400 - FIELDING (Henry). Julien l'Apostat, ou Voyage dans l'autre monde, translated (...) by Sieur Kauffmann, sworn interpreter at the Châtelet de Paris, for the German, English & Italian languages. Amsterdam, et se trouve à Paris, Le Jay, 1768, 2 parts in one volume in 12, half tan basane, smooth spine decorated with gilt fillets, red speckled edges (late 18th century binding). Damage to the upper cap, rubbed edges. First French translation, very rare, of A Journey from this world to the next (1749). This is one of the least known texts by Henry Fieding (1707-1754), as it does not fit into any of the categories and genres to which the author accustomed his readers: playing with classical references, the brilliant English novelist reinvents the figures of the afterlife for a century both imbued with Christianity and already detached from its representations.
