"Coming from a family of English origin, François-Augustin Paradis Moncrif (1687-1770) offered the perfect type of man in the world of the eighteenth century: Figure future so pleasant and very witty, he was immediately sought in the most aristocratic circles, where his qualities introduced fencing, and where he made room for his many talents. A poet, musician and good actor it is particularly prized for the entertainment company who were then in fashion. Accomplished courtier, he knew how to be devout and the Queen at Versailles and cheerful and lively in the city. But he also had heart and showed it to his former patron, Count d'Argenson, when he was disgraced in February 1757, and the poorer members of his family, he supported generously. Protected the Grand Prior of Orleans, Duke de la Valliere and the Count of Maurepas, he was first secretary of the Comte d'Argenson, then secretary to the Comte de Clermont-priest, reader Leszczynska Queen Mary (1734 ) and finally Secretary General the postal administration, a position he held until his death in 1770. The most famous work is his History of Moncrif Cats (1727). He defends the cat through historical references, including ancient Egypt, scholars who want and are actually a pastiche of pedantry. A number of readers and critics do not discerned for the satirical book, mannered and obscure, was violently attacked. Dropped a pleasant chat in the hall of the French Academy on the day of receipt of Moncrif, and Voltaire called it the "historiogriffe. Ultimately, the author denied his book by saying that: "In such writing, bad in itself, the spirit was more than wrong. "Moncrif has also worked at the Journal des Savants (1739-1743). He composed poems fugitive, who are among his best works, as well as songs and ballads of the kind in which, according to Grimm, it would have been if it was the first devoted exclusively. Moncrif was imposed at the French Academy by the Duke of Orleans and the Count of Clermont in 1733. The Academy was highly criticized for his election. Moncrif supported including the election of Voltaire. He was also a member of Academy of Berlin. " (Source Wikipedia)
This edition contains the same figures as for editing 1751. It contains Essays on the need to please the Letter to the King of Poland , speech at the Academy , Souls rival various Speeches and Letters , Christian Poems of various comedy, poetry, singing arias, ballet, singing , etc..
Source: curiously these volumes have no mark of origin (bookplate printed or handwritten), its history through the last two centuries remains. Copies of morocco Works Moncrif are very rare on the market for bibliophiles. We know a copy of this edition in red morocco with the arms of Louis XV from his office (Bulletin du Bibliophile, No. 784, 1842). "Moncrif gave us a popular genre in which he has no rivals some of his songs are really worthy of the good old days, which he imitated the language with great skill and talent are there is as much finesse as feeling, delicacy and simplicity. " Michaud, Biographie Universelle.
Specifics binding: For be more specific about this beautiful morocco binding at the time, it should indicate the following: We note that the documents of title and volume number are strictly identical for all 4 volumes. The first volume is adorned at the center of the boxes on the back of a golden jewel in a star shape characteristic and found this jewel on the back of the 3 subsequent volumes, but there are clearly (although it is very discreet and inconspicuous at first glance) that the same floret was mosaic at the back of the last three volumes, and this so that the decoration of these volumes is almost identical to the first. golden threads on the nerves are different in Volume I and the next three, and roulette golden comb and paper inner lining and guards. The size of the 4 volumes is identical. 4 volumes of the slices are golden but only the first volume is not gilt over marbling. In conclusion, obviously, this copy, curiously "matching" in the eighteenth century, perhaps to an amateur, leaves the mystery about the causes leading to this "manipulation"?! We do not understand why you edit three volumes instead of one? Anyway the set is very decorative, very coherent and perfectly preserved, making it bibliophile rare piece.
