Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Hardcover. Guillaume Dubois (1656-1723) was a French cardinal and statesman. He was considered one of France's four great Cardinal-Ministers (Richelieu, Mazarin, Dubois, and Fleury). He studied at the college of St. Michel in Paris, where he was befriended by the head of the college, who found pupils for him, ultimately leading to him becoming the tutor to the Duc d'Orleans. When the Duc D'Orléans became regent in 1715, Dubois was made councillor of state. He was subsequently invested as a Cardinal. Dubois was instrumental in negotiating the Triple Alliance in 1717 among the French, British, and Dutch to counteract the power of the Spanish. Dubois supposedly wrote these memoirs in the last two years of his life. According to the prefatory note to this volume (quoting the preface of the initial French edition of 1829), there was great intrigue concerning the publication of these memoirs. The original was ostensibly stolen by Dubois' secretary, who intended to sell it to the family. Because of its scandalous nature, he waited until most persons named in it had died. When he did try to sell it, Versailles intervened and obtained the original, which it stored, not releasing it for publication. It was then copied by a comte, whose copy was published after his death. But the original manuscript was never found, leading to suspicions that it never existed. So, is this the real memoir of Cardinal Dubois, or is it a fake? Regardless, it is a very entertaining story of the time of Louis XIV and Louis XV. Octavo. Bright blue cloth boards with gilt fleur-de-lis on front and title on spine of each volume. Includes frontis of Cardinal with tissue intact. Deckle edge paper in great condition.

New York 1929, 376/ 346 pp., two portraits, binding of vol. 2 has little damage (small hole), left under of front, ill. by Lui Trugo, One more example that in French ancien regime politics the highest ecclesiastical dignities easily combined with utter lack of religiousness or scruples. In spite of that, or perhaps rather thanks to that, Cardinal Dubois could form an alliance with Great Britain that would guarantee European peace and through that free the way for the intellectual modernisation that the 18th century would bring. The Memoirs, as is also a French tradition, are hardly really his but still show intimate knowledge of the time and in any case offer a lively read. (code B-312).…

[London or New York?] Privately printed [for Herbert J. Williams]. [1929.] 8vo. Publisher's yellow silk-backed boards with pink paper sides, printed paper spine label; pp. xi, [1 (blank)], 145, [3], including frontispiece; frontispiece, 7 wood-engraved plates , and in-text- illustrations by Beardsley; slight fading and a few small dampstains to boards, corners worn, very light wear to spine ends; but a very good copy.Uncommon first edition thus of Ernest Dowson's translation of Balzac's La Fille aux yeux d'or (The Girl with the Golden Eyes), with illustrations by Beardsley.Dowson's translation of Balzac's La Fille aux yeux d'or (The Girl with the Golden Eyes) had first been published by Leonard Smithers in 1896 with illustrations by Charles Conder. Beardsley's feelings of antipathy towards Conder (who once, at a party, publicly wiped the rim of his glass in a gesture of revulsion after Beardsley had accidentally drunk from it) 'grew so strong that he was to refuse Smithers' offer that he design the cover for The Girl with the Golden Eyes. It was done by Conder, and later reproduced in the fourth volume of The Savoy [.] Beardsley's developing dislike of Conder was probably the reason he was not asked to contribute more to The Savoy' (Galbally, p. 143). This edition was privately published for Herbert J. Williams, editor and proprietor of the periodical The Critic, of which he appointed Dowson sub-editor in 1890. Eight of Beardsley's drawings would appear in the article 'Notes on the Literary Element in Beardsley's Art' by A.E. Gallatin, publishing 'Katharina Klavsky, as Isolde' for the first time.OCLC finds four copies in the US (Stanford, South Carolina, Temple, Tulsa); no copies traced on Library Hub.Not in Samuels Lasner.
