SÉGUR (Louis-Philippe, comte de)
Family collection, dedicated to Madame la Comtesse de Ségur. Paris, De l'Imprimerie de Casimir, 1826. 2 parts in one volume in-8, 2 ff.n.ch., 80 pp., II pp., pp. 3-214: paperback, green cover decorated with a rhombus-rectangle pattern with central cartouche printed in black, untrimmed, black half-marocco folder and modern slipcase (contemporary binding). Printed in small numbers, not commercially available and intended for the author's family and friends. This collection by the Count of Segur (1753-1830), diplomat, peer of France and member of the Académie française, includes 10 pieces of prose (dedications to his wife, comedies played with his relatives and some historical notes on members of his family) and nearly 125 poems in verse. All evoke family happiness and testify to the love and tenderness felt by the author for his wife, Marie d'Aguesseau, and their daughter Laure. The pieces are dated between 1777 and 1825, and some of them had already been printed separately. A brocaded copy, as published, in its attractive and rare cathedral-decorated cover. It does not bear the signature of the author. Pale angular wetness, a few slight freckles. (Quérard, La France littéraire, XIX, 1838, pp. 29-30).
