Description
Disowned by La Rochefoucauld. Less than half is by him, and that very defective. The "Wars of Paris" is spurious; the "Retreat of the Duke de Longueville" (p. 113-128) is by Saint-Evremond; the "Apologie for the Duke de Beaufort" is by Guillaume Girard. The genuine memoirs were not printed until 1804.
Errata: p. [9] at end.
Indexed in: Wing L451A.
Additional description
There are two stubs or guards between Ee4 and Ee5; Ee7r contains the errata; Ee8 is wanting. With armorial bookplate of the earls of Ilchester
