Paris, Calmann-Lévy, 1896 + 1923. Both copies are uncut, numbered and on extra fine paper. They are bound w. all the orig. wrappers in two private very beautiful uniform half leather bindings of darker orange (like the wrappers) morocco w. single gilt line-frames and gilt titles on back. Flat capitals and top-edges gilt (Anker Kysters Eftf. 1977, -handsigned underneth the bookbinder-stamp by the particular bookbinder - ""Mogens Dickow Lund""). Small tear to corner of back wrapper of""Lettres Intimes"", otherwise a mint set.
First edition, numbered copies, of both works. The ""Lettres Intimes"" is number 5 of fifteen copies printed on Japan-paper: ""Il a été tiré de cet ouvrage quinze exemplaires sur papier Impérial du Japon. Tous numérotés. No. 5."" ""Nouvelles Lettres Intimes"" is number four of 50 copies on Holland-paper: ""Il a été tiré de cet ouvrage cinquante exemplaires sur papier de Hollande numérotés. No. 4.""Ernest Renan (1823-1892) was a French philologist, philosopher and historian. His father died when he was aged five, and his mother wanted him to become a priest. Until he was about 16 years old, he was trained by the Church, but due to his investigative and truth-seeking nature as well as his studies (e.g. Hebrew), he was in doubt as to the historical truth of the Scriptures, and with the help of his sister he chose his own path in life. ""He studied intensively the languages of the Bible and filled a number of minor academic positions, frequently encountering difficulties because of the heterodoxy and outspokenness of his religious opinions."" (Printing and the Mind of Man 352). In 1840 he began studying philosophy and later philology, in 1847 he took his degree as Agrégé de Philosophie and became master at the Lycée of Vendome. After having returned from a mission to Italy in the year 1850 where he gathered material for his historical-philosophical masterpiece, ""Averroës et l'Averroisme"", he was offered employment at the ""Bibliothèque Nationale"" (at the manuscript department). In 1861 he was chosen to become professor of Hebrew at the Collège de France, but because the emperor refused to ratify the appointment (inspired by the Clerical party), he was not established in the chair untill 1870. In 1878 he was elected for the Academy. Renan is considered a scolar of the greatest excellence and an impressive writer. Renan's closest confidante was his sister, Henriette, who helped him quit the clerical carrier. They helped eachother financially, travelled together (e.g. on archaeological expeditions) and lived together for many years of their lives. His widely famous work, ""Vie de Jésus"" is dedicated to her, and their correspondence is very interesting and catching.
Munster, Perrenon, 1769. 8vo. Bound in a very nice contemporary half calf binding with four raised bands and richlty gilt spine. Center and corners of boards with gilt flower ornamentation. Small paper-label to upper part of spine. Traces from label (ex-libris?) having been removed from verso of front board. A nice and clean copy. 143 pp.
The exceedingly rare second edition of Brument’s attempt at a sequel to Rousseau's ""La Nouvelle Héloïse"" with the story revolving around Henriette, the daughter of Julie de Wolmar, a central character in Rousseau's novel. The first edition was published in Geneve in 1768 – both editions are of the utmost scarcity and are rarely found in the trade. “Henriette de Wolmar” is part of a broader trend in the 18th century where Rousseau's “La Nouvelle Héloïse” inspired numerous derivative works, including sequels, parodies, and adaptations – all early examples of fan-fiction. The success of Rousseau's novel sparked a wave of creative responses, as readers and writers sought to expand, reinterpret or critique the original story. In Rousseau's original work, “La Nouvelle Héloïse”, Julie is portrayed as a virtuous woman who navigates the complexities of love, duty, and social expectations. Brument's sequel, however, shifts the narrative focus to Julie's role as a mother, particularly highlighting her possessiveness and jealousy towards her daughter. This jealousy serves as the central conflict of the story illustrating the psychological and emotional turmoil that can be within family relationships. Provenance: Valdemar's Castle.
Paris, Calmann Levy, 1898. Royal 8vo. Uncut in the orig. printed wrappers. A bit of wear to capitals, internally fine. (4), 408 pp.

Henriette-Marie est la fille de Henri IV et l'épouse de Charles Ier d'Angleterre. Elle naquit au Louvre le 25 novembre 1609, soit un an avant l'assassinat de son père. Elle était la sixième enfant et la troisième fille d'Henri IV et de Marie de Médicis. Elle épouse sur la volonté de son frère Louis XIII, en 1626, Charles Ier d'Angleterre qui était le petit fils de Marie Stuart. Ce fut Buckingham qui vint chercher la jeune reine à Paris pour la présenter à son mari le roi d'Angleterre qui n'avait pas pu se déplacer. C'est au cours de cette cérémonie qui eut lieu au Louvre que se tissèrent les liens mystérieux entre le duc de Buckingham et Anne d'Autriche, raconté à sa façon par Alexandre Dumas dans “Les trois mousquetaires”. La première partie de la vie d'Henriette-Marie, dont le portrait se trouve à l'ambassade d'Angleterre à Paris, fut assez mouvementée, jusqu'au moment où elle fut obligée de fuir l'Angleterre à cause des rivalités entre son mari et Cromwell qui finira par le faire exécuter. Henriette-Marie, qui a donné son nom à un état des États-Unis, le Maryland, sera obligée de quitter l'Angleterre avec ses deux enfants dont l'un Charles, deviendra Charles II, pour échapper aux poursuites de Cromwell. C'est auprès de son frère Louis XIII, qu'elle vivra cette période chaotique de l'Angleterre qui le fut également pour la France, puisque ce fut celle de la Fronde. C'est un miracle pour elle de survivre à l'assassina de son mari, s'assumer la protection de ses enfants, bravant le dénuement le plus complet. Son fils put gagner l'île de Jersey puis l'Écosse et l'Irlande et réussit après la mort de Cromwell à regagner son trône. Mais ceci ne facilita pas la vie d'Henriette-Marie qui malgré la sollicitude d'Anne d'Autriche, était tiraillée entre les tensions de la cour de France notamment au moment de la Fronde. La mort de Cromwell le 13 septembre 1758, va changer sa destinée et le 29 mai 1660 Charles revient triomphalement à Londres, date coïncidant avec le mariage de Louis XIV avec l'infante d'Espagne, Marie-Thérèse. Henriette-Marie se décide alors, accompagnée de sa fille Henriette à rejoindre son fils à Londres. Elle vécut encore pendant dix ans entre Londres et Paris, assez peinée de voir les dilapidations des finances du royaume d'Angleterre par son fils Charles II. Elle devait mourir le 3 août 1669 à l'âge de soixante ans, un deuil général fut ordonné dans toute l'Angleterre et quarante huit heures plus tard, Bossuet montra en chaire pour prononcer l'oraison funèbre d'Henriette-Marie de France, reine d'Angleterre.
