8vo., [First? Edition], text in French, only the most minimal age-staining; handsomely bound in contemporary full roan, boards with elaborate decorative triple frame border in gilt, back with flat bands, second compartment with red leather label ruled and lettered in gilt, all other compartments richly tooled in gilt lattice, marbled edges, marbled endpapers, a remarkably well-preserved, crisp, clean copy in wholly unrestored contemporary binding.
A rare arithmetic primer constructed on the mother-son principle, with 'Adolphe' pursuing his learning through structured conversations with 'La Mere'. EXTREMELY SCARCE, THE MORE SO IN THIS CONDITION. Fourcroy 1801.
