Spirit of Rivarol. Paris, Chez les principaux Libraires, et chez les Éditeurs (printing house of H. Perronneau), 1808. In-12, 1 f.n.ch. (title), XLI pp., 1 p.n.ch. (Opinion of the publishers), 258 pp. and 1 f.n.ch. (table): glazed rooted calf, triple gilt fillet, small irons at corners, smooth spine decorated, red coins (title and name of owner at tail), inside roulette, yellow edges (contemporary binding). The collection is largely made up of thoughts taken from Rivarol's unpublished, but unfinished, works, and above all from his conversation on metaphysics, religion, morals, languages, literature, fine arts, etc., and is a collection of his thoughts on the subject of the "The Great War". In particular, we find Rivarol's analysis of the work of Dante and Shakespeare, as well as his curious pamphlet directed against Abbé Delille in which a cabbage talks with a turnip. A very fine copy, in a nice, fresh, rooted calf binding, from the library of the general farmer Jacques Deschamps de Saint-Amand (1746-1826). It bears in the tail the name of the bibliophile gilt on a piece of red morocco, Deschamp [sic], and on the title this mention in pen: Don de l'auteur/M. Fayolle/21 April 1811. Dos éclairci (Tchemerzine V, p. 412, indicates two volumes; the second is the Discourse on the Universality of the French Language).
