Description

With engr. title-vignette and 1 large decorative engr. initial. 2 leaves, 116 pp. 4to. Contemp. Viennese burgundy morocco, with rich rococo border around sides, composed of 4 flower baskets, various small flower stamps, leafy sprigs, surrouded by a single fillet and a dotted line, spine with label gilt, edges gilt. Milan, Joseph Marelli, 1758. A rare and anonymous tract on the qualities of a general, splendidly bound in contemporary Viennese burgundy morocco. The unknown author (perhaps Lancelot Turpin de Crissé, 1715-1795) not only writes critical and military notes about Julius Caesar, but also quotes such authorities as Turenne, le Père Charlevoix, Lord Bollingbrock, a.o. He states that more could have been said on the topic, but that he was going to include further material in his future works on all great men of antiquity, if his first work would meet the approval of the great Prince (?) to whom it is dedicated. - Small library ticket on front pastedown. - Not in Barbier; for a similar binding see Mazal 231-232.
