Genève, Paschoud, 1807. 2 volumes petit in-12. pp.3-183pp. 1f. 220pp. (sans les faux-titres). Full calf, ornate smooth spines, gilt garland framing the covers (fine period binding). A very rare edition, apparently the second, of Madame de Charrière's famous novel, which established her literary reputation. It remained unknown to Clouzot. Isabelle de Charrière, a Swiss woman of letters of Dutch origin, was a friend of Benjamin Constant and Madame de Stael. A handsome copy, finely bound in the period, without its faux-titres. Missing from Clouzot.
