350-STAEL-HOLSTEIN (Anne-Louise-Germaine de). Mémoires sur la vie privée de mon père, suivis des mélanges de M. Necker. A Paris et à Londres, chez Colburn, 1818, in-8, XVI-373 pp., green morocco, spine ribbed and decorated with small irons, large framing decoration on the boards with two rows of gilt palmettes and cold roulette in the middle, gilt rosette in spandrel, cold roulette framing a cartouche with a decoration of gilt palmettes in the corners linked by gilt fillets and underlined by a cold roulette, monogram F. D. C. in the center of the first board, gilt edges, inner roulette, buff paper endpapers (period binding). Rare first edition. Few details on the political events of the end of the Ancien Régime and the beginnings of the Revolution, but very personal recollections that shed new light on our knowledge of Necker. There is also an "Essai sur la législation et le commerce des grains", a new work that can serve as a sequel to the one published in 1775. An exceptional copy from the library of Ernest Auguste de Hanovre, fifth son of George III and King of Hanover. Wet stamp in red ink on verso of title: Ex-Bibliotheca Fidetcomm Ernesti Aug. with Hanover motto.
