Volumes 1-4 and 7-8 wi…th 1718 publication date, Volume One stated Nineteenth Edition on volume title page with 1718 date [this volume having appeared earlier and being reprinted prior to the other volumes), Volumes 2-4 and 7-8 stated Seventh Edition; Volumes 5 and 6 with 1717 date and stated Seventh Edition on title page, with publisher "Tooke" spelled as "Took". Despite the variation in dates and edition statements, In matching contemporary full calf bindings, 5 bands, red and black morocco spine labels, elaborate gilt tooling on spine and edges. An excellent set, light fraying at a few tips, bindings and hinges solid, gilt still bright, spine labels intact, light even foxing to text blocks, pages square and undamaged. The origins of the work are complex and disputable, but the manuscript by Marana survives at least for the early volumes, one or more of the later volumes likely being English additions. Important for the light it shows on what Europeans thought was happening, rather than for exact reporting on what was actually occurring. See Bibliographical Society of America LII (1958), PMLA LXXII (1957), Revue de litterature compares XXXII (1958), and the Times Literary Supplement 12/24/1982 and 7/1/1983 to appreciate the variety of views regarding the authorship of the later volumes. Defore wrote a continuation of this series in 1718, not present here.

Emile Desmazières] Reimpression faite a 200 exemplaires sur papier de Hollande. No. 63 [of 200] Original plain blue-green wrappers in gl…assine jacket. Very Good+ This nicely produced reissue of this satirical exposition of the 'privileges' of cuckoldry takes the form of lengthy dialogue between Le Cocu and Le Jaloux. OCLC 1063428053 "THE BENEFITS AND PRIVILEGES OF CUCKOLDS, Shewing the little Disgrace there is in being one, and the Obligations Men sometimes have to their Wives, for conferring that Honour upon them, in what Manner soever it is done, either as Prudes, Coquettes, Domines, or Writing Desks. The whole beautifully illustrated with several late notable Intrigues that have been carried on in many Parts of the Beau-monde." The purported author: Eustache Le Noble (1643 1711) was a 17th-century French playwright and writer. An attorney General at the Parlement of Metz, Le Noble led a dissipated life and after he had been condemned for having manufactured false acts, he was jailed at the Conciergerie where he fell in love with Gabrielle Perreau, la Belle Épicière, who was also imprisoned. Having found a way to get away with her, in order to make a living, he published satirical dialogues about the time topics, in which Bayle found "infinite wit and reading." The prose is clear, incisive, and frequently cut with verses which are not without merit.
