Paris, by the Society, 1725, 3 vols. in-4, fawn calfskin, decorated ribbed spine, red edges (contemporary binding). One of the best editions of the Essays, based on the reprint of Coste’s 1724 London edition, with significant additions by Gueulette and Jamet the Elder. Coste counted this edition among his own.
