DRAW FIRST EDITION AND VERY RARE.

Here is the note of Charles Nodier about this edition of the Poems of Sir Aceilly: "Why the original edition of these poems is charming it the rarest of our small volume classic? Here is the little known reason . Cailly Knight, who had many such in the portfolio, and I sincerely regret, wrote the first volume in the frontispiece, and nothing could be more fatal to the beginning of a book at the bottom of the frontispiece, he wrote to give the Palace, and the public took this gift at the foot of the letter. They refused to pay what gave himself. Informed of his mistake by the failure of the sale, the author tried to repair by another. He lacerated the frontispiece, and fell to the old edition dishonored paper. She was pulled from oblivion by the Monnoye. Forty years of research only made me see that five copies, two with frontispiece and three that did not matter. I had never met the original edition when I gave mine. " (this note autograph Nodier Charles was at the top of his copy, which then passed into the library of Aimé Martin (eg connected maroqin Niédrée Green, 1847). It was Charles who resurrected Nodier his poetry by giving an edition in 1825 (Paris, Delangle).

Gilles Menage, meanwhile, gives a different explanation on the dissemination of this edition: "Mr. Knight Cailly, which is an anagram of Aceilly does not want his bookstore sells his Poems. He did present himself to people he knew (...)" (Ménagiana, Volume III).

"Jacques Cailly, Knight of the Order of St. Michael, better known by the name of the anagrammatic Aceilly, was born in Orleans in 1604. He died in 1673. His nobility was not very old (... ) The jokes of this poet, sometimes a bit bright, are felt to this debauchery of mind that all ages have allowed conventional, but they are never obscene. Finally, if attacking the ridiculous with some bitterness, he Household's less people, and tradition has no memory attached to his portraits. To him we should perhaps have refined this kind of poetry where Regnier SIGOGNE and Theophilus, had bid on the impudence of Martial. It is therefore likely that the pseudonym of fake Aceilly is a decorum of modesty. (...)" (Charles Nodier Preface to the 1825 edition, Paris, Delangle).

This first edition, very rare, contains a large number of epigrams. The volume is dedicated to the great Colbert.

The binding is a perfect imitation, old morocco, binding at the time, some evidence suggests (without certainty) that it leaves the workshop Roger Devauchelle, who did not disdain to make this type of pastiche " perfect.
