Beschreibung:

circa 15 x 9,5 cm., XLVI, 138 pp., 19 (2 blank) ff.. Full calf, spine gilt Gay I, 248; Supplement to Brunet, 12. Curious work about the beauty of the female sex with several rather free passages. Unfortunately here without the frontispiece that seems to be lacking to a lot of copies. If the attribution is correct this must be one of the earliest works by the author Deslandes (1690-1757), a Frenchman born at Pondicherry (Puducherry, in India).

Bemerkung:

- Only the title page dusty, else quite clean, endpapers renewed, rubbed.
