Grand-Carteret, no. 377.

First edition.

Chateaubriand’s first work appeared in the Almanach des Muses, a poem entitled L’Amour de la campagne (p. 205).

Other pieces were written by Vigée (L’Origine de la poésie, p. 18), by Bérenger (Épitre à M. du M., Gouverneur de M., p. 27; Fragment d’un poème intitulé : Mes Goûts, ou les quatre ages, p. 61), or by Chénier (Dithyrambe sur l’Assemblée nationale, p. 189 ; Épitre au roi, p. 239), to give just a few examples.

A very fine copy.
