SERVAN DE SUGNY (Pierre). Le Suicide. Paris, Veuve Béchet, 1832; in-8 slightly later red half-chagrin, spine ribbed and decorated, gilt head, salmon cover (repaired with tears). Posthumous first edition. A lawyer from Lyon, the author suffered from tuberculosis and neurasthenia and took his own life at the age of 35 on the eve of the publication of this novel, whose title is no doubt deliberately premonitory. Vignette by Henri Monnier on the title and cover. Very rare title. - Ex-libris A. Hénin and André Barrier.
