[Satirical literature]. ART (L') de plumer la poulle sans crier. A Cologne, chez Robert le Turc, 1710. In-12, [7], f. (title, warning, explanation of the print, preface, table), 224 p., [3] f., frontispiece, havana morocco, five-ribbed spine, gilt title and date, ornate caissons, triple gilt filleting to covers, double filleting to edges, gilt inner lace [Cuzin], (rubbing not severe to spine and 2 corners; browning and some soiling).
Edition illustrated with a copper-engraved frontispiece. This collection of 21 adventures of swindles, suspicious gallantry, abuse of authority and scandals caused by people of all ranks and professions, can be seen as a satire of the mores of the time, mainly directed against the fermiers généraux. A pleasant copy, finely established by Cuzin, who has preserved all its margins.
