CHICKEN (Abbot). Sermons. Paris, Mérigot, 1778. 2 vols. in-12, red mar., triple filet, gilt arms, ornamented ribbed spine, t. p. and t. tom. fawns, gilt tr. (Rel. ép.). In the arms of Madame Adélaïde (1732-1800), third daughter of Louis XV and Marie Leczinska. OHR, pl. 2514, close to iron no. 3, in reduced size. "Intelligent, highly educated, this princess had a useful influence on a too weak King. (...) The volumes that belonged to Mesdames de France can only be distinguished by the colour of the morocco (...): Madame Adélaïde had her own volumes in red morocco, Madame Victoire in green, and Madame Sophie in lemon. These works were bound by Fournier in Versailles, and by Vente. (...) His library was sold at auction during the Revolution." Stained binding, light rubbing.
