DULAURE, Jacques-Antoine. Crimes et forfaits de la noblesse - Lot 224
DULAURE, Jacques-Antoine. Crimes et forfaits de la noblesse et du clergé, depuis le début de la monarchie jusqu'à nos jours, Paris [S. n.], [S. d., ca. 1793]. In-8 of VI, 164 p., frontispiece. Half-basecloth, combed paper boards, long spine finely decorated. Discreet repair at the top of the frontispiece and title page (without affecting the engraving or the text). Uncommonly successful anti-clerical text. First edition. Notable English provenance: engraved bookplate "Holland House". Barbier gives 1793 as the date of printing. Has been bound in a thin strip of paper which masks a handwritten inscription on the title page ("Rue de la [???] Hotel de Penthièvre."). Is this the place of printing? It was at the Hôtel de Penthièvre that in 1795 the official printing works were grouped together, under the name Imprimerie de la République, rue de la Vrillière. Barbier, I, 819; Conlon, 88: 2928.
