First Edition in English. otherwise an attractive copy in contemporary mottled calf, spine with raised bands gilt finely gilt in compartments, red morocco label lettered horizontally in gilt, marbled edges, plain endpapers with small manuscript shelf mark on the front pastedown. 8vo (154 x 96 mm), pp. [viii], 9-156, title-page a little stained, text slightly browned throughout with occasional stains, a nasty marginal wormhole through the final few pages, but only just touching one letter on the final page, A collection of reported conversations between Antoine Gombault, chevalier de Méré and Philippe de Clérambault, comte de Palluau, a distinguished soldier who rose to the rank of maréchal de France for his loyalty to the King during the Franco-Prussian wars of the 1630s through to the 1650s. Although the title gives the conversations as ?by Monsieur Clerombault?, it is fairly clear that they were written and prepared for publication by his friend, the Chevalier de Méré, as they were not published until some five years after Clérambault?s death. The preface gives a brief portrait of the marshal and of the circumstances surrounding Méré?s meeting him, and of their conversations. Six conversations are then presented to the reader, all in the form of reported speech and covering a wide range of subjects, from wit and gallantry, to women and glory, as the two men proceed to dinner or walk quietly in the orange groves. Originally published in French as Les Conversations, Paris, 1668, this was a popular work which was frequently reprinted in French. This is the first of two different English translations to be published and was followed by Conversations of the Mareschal of Clerambault and the Chevalier de Mere, 1677. This latter translation was given as by ?A. Lovell, M.A.?, who published a number of translations from the French at this period. However, the translations are completely different and the present translation does not appear to have been reprinted.

Brunet list this 1669-edition asthe first.Tchemerzine mention an edition from 1668 but notes that he has not seen it: ?nous n'avons pas vu d'exemplaire de cette édition, inconnue jusqu'à la vente de Rochebilière? (Tchemerzine VIII, p. 219). Chevalier de Méré (1607-1684), whose real name was Antoine Gombaud, was a French writer and thinker. De Méré was known for his contributions to literature, particularly in the of moral philosophy and social commentary. He is perhaps best remembered for his participation in the intellectual circles of his time, where he engaged in discussions and correspondences of which this work is a fine testimony. De Méré's writings, especially the present, offer insights into the social and cultural milieu of 17th-century France. We have only been able to trace one copy at auction.OCLC list no copies (of both the 1669-edition and the presumed 1668-edition). Tchemerzine VIII, p. 219 Brunet III, 1648.
