ORAISONS FUNEBRES DE BOSSUET, Fléchier et autres orateurs, avec un discours préliminaire et des notices par M. Dussault. Paris, Janet, 1820. Four volumes in-8, contemporary bindings in aubergine long-grained morocco, multiple frames of cold garlands and gilt fillets on the boards, four of them intersecting to draw large corner motifs, spines decorated with gilt and cold motifs, cold roulette and gilt fillets inside, gilt edges (Purgold). Beautiful edition of this collection of funeral orations from Henriette of England to Louis XVIII by the great orators, illustrated with 37 out-of-text figures (and not 34, as Vicaire (I, 871) erroneously indicates), engraved on steel after Desenne, Horace Vernet and Hersent, including 25 portraits and 12 scenes. A superb copy on large vellum paper with the figures in double state, including the pure etching, covered with very fine decorated bindings signed by Purgold. As new, except for very slight spotting on a few leaves of volume III. From the libraries of Eugène Paillet, with his signature on the first endpaper, and Henri Beraldi (III, 1934, no. 365), with his ex-libris
