Description:
Paris: Lemonnier, 1829. Livre. Satisfaisant. Demi-cuir. Ed. originale. In-8. Paris, Lemonnier, 1829. 3 tomes reliés en un volume in-8, 21 x 12,5 cm (R), LII - 379, III - 420, 391, relié (dos absent, restes de cuir dur les mors), toutes tranches marbrées. Edition originale (une réédition paraîtra en 1830) rare de cet ouvrage important pour comprendre le fonctionnement des polices à l'époque, d'autant plus recherché que les sources primaires sur le sujet ont disparu. Il fut un temps attribué à Guyon (Quérard, repris par Tulard), mais il semble que cette attribution soit erronée. Le dos est manquant, mais l'ouvrage reste relié, les plats solidaires et la gouttière bien régulière. L'intérieur est très frais, avec de très rares et très pâles rousseurs..
