GENLIS, Madame de — Unpublished Memoirs of the Countess of Genlis on the Eighteenth Century and the French Revolution from 1756 to the Present. 2nd ed. Paris: Ladvocat, 1825. 8 vols. in-8, a few foxing spots, purple calfskin as published, covers embossed without color, spine with raised bands and decoration (MARTIN). Second edition, published on the same date as the original, of her memoirs, which are significant both for the author’s stature—as tutor to the future Louis-Philippe and a renowned woman of letters—and for the numerous little-known anecdotes and accounts of the Revolution they contain.
