NODIER (Charles). Description Raisonnée d'une jolie Collection de Livres (Nouveaux mélanges tirés d'une petite bibliothèque)... Précédée d'une introduction par M. G. Duplessis...1844

Paris: J. Techener, 8vo (210 x 130 mm), [iv], 36, 492pp., nineteenth-century calf calf, marbled boards, spine compartments richly tooled in gilt, a nice copy. This is the last work of Charles Nodier who died in January 1844. It is his description of his own highly important library in its final state before it was sent to auction in 1844. Nodier had previously consigned books to auction from his library in 1827 and 1830. The present work contains the 36 page life of Nodier by Francis Wey, but as often it is without the 7 page introduction and 2 or 3 short additions which were only added to a few copies. 1254 books are described, often with detailed notes. Vicaire VI, 143.
