Story note: Inspired by his scandalous real-life affair with the flamboyant woman who called herself George Sand, Alfred de Musset's Confession is a passionate account of a young man's rite of passage. It tells the story of Octave, desperate to be more than an 'average man', who searches for happiness first as a debauched libertine, until his mistress Elise is unfaithful, and then in an austere life in the countryside, where he falls in love with the selfless Brigitte. But as he becomes consumed by insane jealousy and convinced that Brigitte will betray him, Octave brings about his own destruction. A vivid, opulent portrayal of obsession and despair, this is also a philosophical portrait of a man and his times, expressing the failed idealism of the Romantic generation of the early nineteenth century. Jazet, Paul- Leon (drawings) and ABOT, Eugene (etchings) (illustrator).…

First edition of the French numismatist's Dictionary of Money, which Coquelin & Guillaumin called "l'un des meilleurs et des plus complets qui existent sur cette matière" ("one of the best and most complete that exists on this subject"), the product of 20 years of research. "In 1764, François-André Abot de Bazinghen [1711-1791], one of the few authors to have written on the Cour des monnaies in the Kingdom of France, identified nine types of false money that corresponded to forms of the crime of lèsé-majesté. Falsification by manipulation was no longer an issue. Better still, no entry in his dictionary concerns the forms of sovereign monetary manipulations: there was nothing related to enhancement, adulteration, debasement or the like. The entry headed 'Altérer la monnaie' (altering the coins) covered fraudulent practices in the mints or by individuals, in particular clipping. Abot de Bazinghen, in this respect, was an author rooted in the metallic system" (Blanc & Desmedt, p. 54). Provenance: from the library of Louis-Emmanuel-Jules-Scipion Rousset (1804-1849) of Tournon, Ardèche, who studied numismatics and charters at the College of Tournon and later served in a number of municipal roles; later from the Birmingham Assay Office Library. Founded in May 1773, the Birmingham Assay Office is one of four such offices in the UK responsible for assaying (testing) and hallmarking precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium). Its establishment was a product of the growth of large scale manufacturing and the use of machines for silver production in Birmingham and Sheffield during the 1770s. The Office's library was particularly rich in works on metallurgy, mining, and design, but also included books on chemistry, alchemy, numismatics, and horology.
