This is the 3rd book in the Memoires de la Marquise de Courtainville series written by Lambert in imitation of "Memory and Adventures of a Man of Quality" by the Abbé Prévost. I could not find another copy of the 1st edition listed online. Original full calf leather with 4 gilt-deocrated bands. 360 pages. Page edges reddened. 5" x 3".
