Condition: Fine.
First edition of the work that is considered the first French historical novel and declared "extremely rare" by the dean of French bibliographers, Léopold Carteret (Le trésor du bibliophile: romantique et moderne, 1801-1875; v.2, p. 452) This work is based on the life of Louis XIII's favorite Henri Coiffier de Ruzé, Marquis of Cinq-Mars, who conspired against the Cardinal de Richelieu. The book was engendered by Vigny's youthful interest and readings in history and his great admiration for Sir Walter Scott. Cinq-Mars was not well received by the critics upon publication, but later gained much appreciation, including by authors such as Victor Hugo, who considered it "admirable". The book did however have quick popular success, as demonstrated by several reprints in the years following this first edition, among them the third, issued the following year (1827) and printed by Balzac.
A libretto was made from the novel by Paul Poirson and Louis Gallet, for an opera in four acts and five tableaus by French composer Charles Gounod (1818-1893). It was first performed in Paris in 1877.

Gilpin, Wm: Observations... on Great Britain, and High-Lands of Scotland, 2 vols
Located in Middletown, NY
This is Gilpin's third in his series of works tracing picturesque beauty in British natural landscapes. In it he portrays the landscapes of Scottish Highlands, and describes them lyrically in his text. Prefacing the list of Prints at the end of the second volume, the author says "With regards to the prints, which adorn these volumes, I can only say..... that few of them pretend to be 'exact portraits.' They in general 'only characterize the countries,' through which the reader is carried." The illustrations, based on Gilpin's sketches, were etched by his nephew William Sawrey Gilpin using the newly invented aquatint process. This volume also includes a technical discourse about drawing and the mixing of colors, including a chart (vol. 1, p. 131-134)
William Gilpin (1724 – 1804) was an English artist, Church of England cleric, schoolmaster and author. He is best known as a travel writer and as one of those who originated the idea of the picturesque. Gilpin's tour journals circulated in manuscript to friends such as the poet William Mason and a wider circle including Thomas Gray...
