[Bouflers, C. Stanislas.]

Oeuvres ... Suele edition avouée et corrigée par l'auteur...

Paris: L. Pelletier, an xi, [1803]. First edition thus, 8vo, pp. viii, 352; handsome stipple-engraved portrait; contemporary quarter calf over yellow speckled paper-covered boards, red morocco label; some wear and slight chipping at extremities but all in all very good. Boufflers was both a cavalry officer and a popular and durable writer whose works stayed in print for half a century. The Oxford Companion to French Literature dismisses him as "a mediocre author of light verse." NUC records no less than fifteen collected editions of his works. Item #15816
