Demi-basane, smooth spine decorated, gilt title, marbled edges (19th c. binding). Thiébaud notes that this edition is considered the best, being "the first to contain everything written by d'Arcussia, and the last to be published in his lifetime [...]. [...] It is rarely complete, and the portrait, arms and 5 plates of instruments are usually missing", as is unfortunately the case with our copy. This copy was given as a gift by Mr. Joblanc [?] of Lons-le-Saunier on August 12, 1865, as stated in a handwritten note. The copy is enriched with a long poem to the glory of the Hunt, handwritten on a two-sheet, circa 1850. Thiébaud, Bibliographie des ouvrages français sur la chasse, col. 33; R. Souhart, Bibl. gén. des ouvrages sur la chasse, col. 17-19. The portrait, arms and 5 plates of instruments, Le Discours de la chasse and ff. F4 (pp. 47-48) and PP2 (pp 299-300) are lacking.
