Description
MARIE DU MESNIL (Ange-Benjamin). Chroniques neustriennes, ou Précis de l'histoire de Normandie, ses ducs, ses héros, ses grands hommes ; influence des Normands sur la civilisation, la littérature, les sciences et les arts ; productions du sol et de l'industrie ; commerce, caractères et mœurs des habitans, depuis le Ixe siècle jusqu'à nos jours. Followed by Neustrian songs. Paris, Librairie du commerce, et Renard, Caen, Mancel, 1825.
In-8, VIII-422 pp. with a lithographed portrait-frontispice by Constans (William the Conqueror), half blond calf, richly decorated smooth spine (contemporary binding).
This is the only edition of what Frère elegantly describes as a compendium of the history of Normandy, "intended above all for people of the world", i.e. highly popularised.
Some light spotting and minor foxing, otherwise a fine copy.
Ex-libris of the Quevilly library. Ex-libris JM (Frère I, 397.)
