Condition
Beautiful edition of this work which contributed decisively to the creation of the "myth of the good King Henry". This myth began soon after his assassination and did his reign a "golden age" concealing the bitter controversy and the many criticisms that were moved while he was alive. The work, which is addressed to King Louis XV, opens with a long author's letter to Cardinal Mazarin; She was a great success, went through many editions and was translated into several languages.Some pages browned and foxed. Fine copy.
