Descrizione
Title printed in red and black. With 1 engr. folding map of Switzerland, and 5 engr. folding views. 6 unn. leaves, 290 pp. 8vo. Contemp. marbled calf, spine richly gilt with label (slightly rubbed). London, Samuel Harding, 1739. First edition. A fine, complete copy of this famous and rare "chronique scandaleuse" describing Swiss spas and the customs of their visitors, concentrating on Baden. D.-F. de Merveilleux (born 1748), a physician from Neuchâtel, was secretary and interpreter, representing the French court in Switzerland. His amusing work, written in the form of letters, contains quite acerbic anecdotes about well-known Bernese families.
