London: John Rodker, 1927. First English edition translated by R. C. M. #907 of a limited edition of 1000 copies printed on hand-made all rag Auvergne paper, by Messrs. E. J. Molyneux, London. 8vo. 8-1/8" x 5-3/4". Bluish grey paper covered boards stamped in gold. Orange cloth spine stamped in gold. Very good./Dust jacket also very good.. Born the son of a French farmer in 1734, Nicolas Restif de la Bretonne was apprenticed to a printer and made his way to Paris where he printed and sold at least 200 of his own works. He and the Marquis de Sade maintained a mutual hate, while he was appreciated by Benjamin Constant and Friedrich von Schiller and appeared at the table of Alexandre Baithazar Laurent Grimod de La Reynière, whom he met in 1782. Jean Francois de La Harpe nicknamed him 'the Voltaire of the chambermaids'. He was rediscovered by the Surrealists in the early 20th century.
