169-GOURVILLE (Jean Héraut de). Memoirs, 1646-1702. Pub. for the S. H. F. by Léon Lecestre. Paris, Renouard, 1894-1895, 2 vol. in-8, CXVI-264 pp. and 332 pp. in red half-maroquin, spine with ornate nerves (period binding). These memoirs are set from a very personal point of view, but, "nevertheless, in speaking of himself, he was led to expose, since he was a man of finance, the financial situation of the states he traversed in the course of his negotiations, and especially that of the nobles who had recourse to his skill". A good copy. Rousseurs.
