Cute Curious and Helpful New Years
Paris: Claude-Jacques Charles Durand, 1779
Contemporary binding in long-grain leather sheepskin
Charming almanac including a calendar, a list of princes and princesses of Europe, religious and administrative nomenclatures, and a few pages devoted to curious events that occurred in 1777 and 1778; thus, we learn in the almanac, in 1777, in Lapland, "following a violent and repeated noise, a mountain opened with a strong explosion, and vomited from its bosom a prodigious quantity of stones, a torrent of water of red color came out at the same time”.
Amusing note in ink on the upper inside cover.
Light rubbing on the caps. A few small stains. Fragile seams. 67459667
