Half vellum gilt with contrasting leather labels and marbled boards. Pages browned with occasional foxing otherwise a remarkably clean and sound set. SCARCE. Nerciat (1739�1800) was a soldier, poet, composer, playwright and novelist, and a spy under both the Ancien R�gime and the Republic. He travelled to countries throughout Europe during the course of his busy, sometimes turbulent career, and spent most of the last two years of his life in prison after being arrested by French forces in Italy in 1798, probably for his activities as a double agent. He is mostly remembered today for his libertine writings, including F�licia, ou mes fr�daines (F�licia, or My Frolics) in 1775, Le diable au corps (Devil in the Flesh) in 1789, and Les Aphrodites.
