Description
HENNISSART, Jean Félix d'] - Satyres sur les femmes bourgeoises qui se font appeller Madame, avec une distinction qui sépare les véritables d'avec celles qui ne le sont que par le caprice de la fortune, la bizarerie & la vanité du siécle. (Paris, Damien Beugnié, 1713). In-8, (8) ff, 500 pp, 12 unsigned h. t. figs, bottom of title redone, carmine Russian leather, gilt thread framing on boards with fleuron at corners, spine ribbed, int. dent, gilt tr.
GAY III, 1076. ''Very interesting satires on the mores of the time. V. Bulletin du bibliophile, 1857, pp. 515-527.'' COHEN 939. ''Many copies have the bottom of the title cut off, because the book having been seized, the bookseller's name was made to disappear in order to sell those that had been concealed.'' The author, who had tried to deceive the censor by presenting a watered-down text, was sent to the Bastille.
