An extremely scarce late 18th century edition of Dumarsais’ Abbreviation of the Treatise on Tropes.
A French philosophe and grammarian, Dumarsais was a prominent figure of the Enlightenment Period, contributing to Diderot's Encyclopedia.
There are sketches to the rear pastedown left behind by an early owner, with horses and hunters and a very unnerving portrait.
One volume in 32mo, XXXII+150 pages
On note of condition, this volume is in good shape, with some rubbing and wear to the binding, and peeling to the spine. There is some foxing throughout.
