Full title: "Bibliotheque historique de la France, contenant le catalogue des ouvrages, imprimes & manuscrits, qui traitent de l'histoire de ce royaume, ou qui y ont rapport; avec des notes critiques et historiques: par feu Jacques Lelong, pretre de l'Oratoire, bibliothecaire de la Maison de Paris. Nouvelle edition revue, corrigee & considerablement augmentee par M. Fevret De Fontette, Conseiller au Parlement de Dijon, Tome Second." This 1769 "Nouvelle edition" is a major 18th century bibliography, considerably revised and expanded from the 1719 first edition. It is cited in Sabin's Bibliography of Bibliographies, xci; Besterman 2292-93; Brunet II, 958-959; Peignot 5056-7; and Vallee no. 3862. Sabin says this is "perhaps the most laborious and most able bibliographical work which has ever appeared. It is scarcely possible to find a volume or a manuscript in any way connected with French history which is not fully described, and it frequently gives curious details respecting English historians." According to Brunet: "This work is one of the most essential productions which bibliographic science has put forth..." With abundant annotations and cross-references. Oversize Hardcover. 10.75" wide by 15.75" tall by 2.75" thick (27cm x 40 cm x 7 cm).
