Bastia: Veuve Batini, 1785. - 239 p.; in-16°, contemporary stiff ivory vellum, title page partly missing, red edges. Beginning blank leaf missing, light freckling to title, light ring in inner margin of last few leaves, wetness to last two leaves, last page restored, with lack without affecting text. Rare work. AP Quérard, II,8: The author having indicated in this work the stones of Corsica which could best suit the erection of a monument proposed in honour of Louis XVI, the revolutionary government made him a crime. A large part of the edition of his book was seized in Marseille and delivered to the flames.
