- [DITTMER (Adolphe)] - [Auguste CAVE]. *Les Soirées de Neuilly*, Dramatic and Historical Sketches, published by M. de Fongeray… Fourth edition.
Paris, Moutardier, 1828, 2 volumes in-8, 2ff.–364pp. - 2ff.-427pp.- frontispiece & facsimile. Olive half-chagrin, ribbed spine, untrimmed. (Bound circa 1880). - Simple but high-quality bindings. A fine copy.
*Les Soirées de Neuilly*, a collection of dramatic proverbs, owed its success entirely to the political allusions it contained. Behind the pseudonym Fongeray lay A. Dittmer (London, 1795–1846) and his colleague A. Cavé (Caen 1794–1852), both editors at *Le Globe*, the mouthpiece of the liberal opposition. The ‘portrait of Mr Fongeray’ is said, according to what its author H. Monnier reportedly told Asselineau, to be that of Stendhal ‘slightly exaggerated’. Printed on laid paper.
- [ANONYMOUS]. La Marquise de Crécy.
Paris, Bailly, 1840, in-8, 2 unnumbered folios – 286 pp. Havana-coloured half-chagrin, corners, initials ‘L.-C.’ on the front cover, ribbed spine decorated with gold-lined panels, gilt head, untrimmed. (Binding by Ottmaier). - Spine discoloured to a fawn shade.
An epistolary novel, likely autobiographical, whose author we have been unable to identify. The author depicts the behaviour of single women in the society of the time.
