317-REISET (Lieutenant General Vicomte de). Souvenirs, 1775-1836. Pub. by his grandson the Vicomte de Reiset. Paris, Calmann-Lévy, 1899-1901, 3 vol. in-8, frontispieces, half parma morocco, spine ribbed, cover preserved (period binding). First edition. Tulard, 1226: "One finds in these fragments of letters and diaries many curious details on the court, ceremonies and certain campaigns (Jena, Eylau, Spain)". "After having served the Empire well, Reiset gladly rallied to the Bourbons and followed them to Ghent during the Hundred Days. As a senior officer in the King's Military Household, he wrote extensively about life at court, painted many portraits and gave some insight into political life. From 1823 to 1828, he commanded the French expeditionary corps in Catalonia. Very brief on the fall of Charles X, he does, however, describe his route to Cherbourg and exile." (Bertier, 857). A fine copy with 16 portraits and engravings relating to the de Reiset family (Tome 1).
