BALZAC (H. de). PHYSIOLOGY OF MARRIAGE or meditation of eclectic philosophy on marital happiness and unhappiness. Paris, Levavasseur, Urbain Canel, 1830. 2 vol. in-8°, lavaliere half-marroquin with wedges, gilt fillets, spine ribbed with gilt boxes and cold motifs, t. gilt (Canape). ORIGINAL EDITION rare and sought-after. This work was published anonymously in December 1829, dated 1830 and was not signed until 1834 by Ollivier. The edition does contain typographical errors that make the first chapter of Meditation XXV, Volume 2, unintelligible. Very nice copy, fresh inside, harmoniously bound by Canape.
