Richelet's Dictionnaire françois first appeared in 1680. This new edition by C.P. Goujet stems from the edition of 1728 supervised by Pierre Aubert. The editor in the 'Avertissement' explains at the end why the edition omits the 'Bibliothèque des Auteurs' contributed by Laurent Josse Le Clerc which was a feature of Aubert's production but which time has rendered deficient. Imprint at end of vol. I: De l'imprimerie d'Aimé Delaroche, 1758. Title-pages printed in red and black.

Binding C18th 'catspaw' mottled calf, blind triple-ruled borders, gilt-tooled spines, red morocco and black spine-labels, marbled endpapers.
