Title printed in red & black. viii, 87 pp. 8vo, cont. half-morocco & marbled boards, spine gilt, t.e.g., signed by R. Raparlier. Paris: J. Techener, 1863. The sale catalogue of the small but extremely choice collection of Léopold Double, originally an artillery officer and later a co-founder of one of the large Mediterranean shipping lines. His splendid library was formed in three short years with an annual expenditure of 50,000 francs. The 397 lots realized the extraordinary sum of 272,000 francs. The preface includes a letter to Double by Paul Lacroix ("Bibliophile Jacob"), expressing his passionate regret at Double's precipitous decision to sell his collection. Books from Double's library found their way into all the major French collections of the second half of the 19th century. Fine copy with the 16-page index of authors, titles, binders, provenances, and the price list. Bookplate of Docteur Ant. Danyau and A.R.A. Hobson.
