Strasbourg : Chez Amand Konig, Libraire. 1766. Small 8vo, )(4, A-T8, [viii], 304 pp, title-page in red and black , woodcut head- and tailpieces, antique-style panelled calf tooled in blind, spine fully gilt, red mor. label, marbled e-p., a fine copy.
The author would appear not to be the well-known Abbe Prevost: all libraries, except Cambridge, avoid ascribing it to him. It seems likely that it is an unknown seeking to use the Abbe’s fame to his own advantage.
The book is rare. Copac locates BL and Cambridge; CCfr one copy at Strasbourg; and Karlsruhe adds 2 copies in German libraries.
