ARGENVILLE-ARISTOTE

ARGENVILLE (Dezallier d'). Vies des plus fameux Architectes depuis la renaissances des Arts, avec la description de leurs ouvrages. Paris, 1787, 2 vols., 8vo., 2 frontispieces (68.). Argus (d'). La Philosophie du bon sens, ou Reflexions philosophiques sur l'incertitude des connaissances humaines à l'usage des Cavaliers et du Beau-Sexe. La Haye, 1746, 2 vols., 12mo., 1 plate and 1 portrait, both unsigned (3s.). Ariosto. Orlando Furioso de Lodovico Ariosto. Birmingham, Baskerville, 1773, 4 vols., roy. 8vo., portrait by Ficquet after Eisen, and 46 plates by Bartolozzi, Choffard, Duclos de Ghendt, Helman, Henriquez, de Launay, de Longueil Martini, Massard, Moreau, Ponce, Prévost, and Simonet, after Cipriani, Cochin, Eisen, Greuze, Monnet, and Moreau (30s. to 40s.).

Copies with proofs before letters are rare (the Bartolozzi plates have few, if any, proofs). 100 copies have been printed on large paper, but, the impressions being weak and pale, they are not appreciated. Copies in Derome bindings command high prices, ranging between £20 and £120, according to the beauty and preservation of the binding. The original drawings have been dispersed, and every now and then we meet with a couple or so. M. Paillet's copy had 45 unlettered proofs and 20 etchings, besides 2 original sketches and 2 extra portraits added. Ariosto. Roland Furieux, poëme héroïque de l'Arioste, traduction nouvelle par M. d'Ussieux. Paris, Brunet, 1775-1783, 4 vols., published both in 8vo. and 4to., portrait and 44 plates of the Italian edition with modified borders, with additional 46 plates after Cochin, and 2 after Moreau, substituted for 2 indifferent plates of the VI. and XII. chants, engraved by de Launay, Lingée, and Ponce, together 92 plates (30s. to 40s.).

Copies with unlettered proofs are of frequent occurrence. In the 4to. edition each of the new plates is within a border. The De Bure copy, morocco, with the plates in unlettered proofs, the etchings and also the 46 original drawings "au crayon rouge" by Cochin, originally sold in 1853 for 230 frs., was resold for 7000 frs. to M. L. Roederer, in whose collection it has found a resting-place.

Ariosto. Roland Furieux, poëme héroïque de l'Arioste par Tressan. A Paris, chez Fr. Dufart, an. IV., ou 1796, 6 vols., 12mo., 11 unlettered plates, not signed (10s.).

As the merit of these volumes consists in the beauty of the illustrations, collectors should endeavour to procure the original editions, which are as follows: Fanny, 1767; Lucie et Mélanie, 1767; Clary, 1767; Julie, 1767; Nancy, 1767; Batilde, 1768; Anne Bell, 1769; Sélicourt, 1769; Sidney et Volsan, 1770; Adelson et Salvini, 1772; Sargines, 1772; Zénothémis, 1773; Bazile, 1773; Lorezzo, 1775; Liebman, 1775; Rosalie, 1775.

vignettes, and 11 tailpieces by Delaunay jun., Fessard, de Ghendt, Godefroy, Halbou, Legrand, Maillard, and Texier, after Marillier and le Barbier (20s.).

Here, too, the original editions are preferable; they appeared separately as follows: Ermance, 1775; D'Almanzi, 1776; Pauline et Suzette, 1777; Makin, 1777; Germeule, 1777; Daminville, 1778; Henriette et Charlot, 1779; Valmiers, 1779; Amélie, 1780; Livermond? Le Comte de Gleisheim? The whole series of head and tail pieces exist in "tirages à part." Most of the original drawings by Marillier are now in the library of M. Gustave de Villeneuve.
