About This Item

Geneva [but Paris?], 1750. First French edition. 12mo, pp. [viii], xliv, [4], 168, [7]. A very nice copy in contemporary mottled calf gilt. Barbier, Ouvrages Anonymes (I, 782) attributes the work to Hurtaut (1719-1791), noting that it is based on a work called Ceremonies Nuptiales de Toutes les Nations, Paris, 1680 by Louis de Gaya. However, the title-page notes that this is a translation from the English, of the second edition of Matrimonial Ceremonies Display'd: Wherein are exhibited, the various Customs. . . of near One Hundred different Kingdoms. . . to which is prefix'd, The comical Adventures of Sir Harry Fitzgerald, who had seven Wives... translated by Mrs. ***. (1748). For this French edition the OCLC locates five copies outside England, at the Burndy Library, Chicago, Michigan, Princeton, and Stanford. See also Gay (I), 742. A discussion of marriage laws and customs of peoples throughout the world including Africa, Russia, South America, Japan, Canada, the Jews, the Arabs, China, Cuba, Mexico, etc.
