Seller's Description:
None. Very Good Indeed. An uncommon edition of this historical novel by Jean-Francois Marmontel. The sixth edition of this work, which was first issued in 1777. Jean-Francois Marmontel was a member of the Encyclopedistes movement. He wrote many articles for the movement. Marmontel gained patronage of Madame de Pompadour, which enabled him to take a place of the official journal 'Le Mercure'. This work traces the cruelties in Spanish America and discusses the effect of the invader's religious fanaticism on the native people. Illustrated, with a frontispiece, engraved title page, and two plates. Contemporary inscription to the verso of front endpaper, in French, for a prize in French language from Temple Grove, East Sheen, awarded to 'Erlysman Pinkney' and dated December 1851. A bright copy of this novel by a prolific author remembered for his contributions to the 'Encyclopedistes' movement. In a full calf binding with gilt stamping to the spine. Externally, smart with several light marks to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd spots, mostly to the first and last few pages. Very Good Indeed.
