Complete and authentic memoirs of Laure Junot, Duchess of Abrantès. Historical recollections spanning Napoleon, the Revolution, the Directory, the Consulate, the Empire, the Restoration, the Revolution of 1830, and the early reign of Louis-Philippe. First complete edition. Paris: Jean de Bonnot, 1967-1969. 16 volumes, octavo. Beautiful full green Empire leather binding by the publisher, flat smooth spine richly decorated with gilt motifs (recumbent dogs and friezes), gilt head, printed on laid paper with watermark, 250 engravings outside the text. The Duchess of Abrantès was undoubtedly the most fascinating writer of her time, married to Junot and launching a literary career aided by young BALZAC's collaboration.
