Description
LA FAYETTE, Madame la comtesse de - Mémoires de la Cour de France pour les années 1688 et 1689. Amsterdam, Jean-Frédéric Bernard, 1731. In-12, front cover, 234 pp, title in red and black, contemporary marbled fawn calf, smooth spine decorated.
TCH III, 844. SHF n°877. First edition, first printing. These memoirs extend from the question of the electorate of Cologne to the Irish expedition and its failure. Mme de La Fayette does not conceal the faults of Louis XIV and his ministers, nor the low intelligence and lack of energy of the English king James II. The writer has mixed events with pleasant anecdotes.
