A complete set of twelve volumes of the works of Madame Cottin (Sophie Ristaud-Cottin) published in Paris between 1819 and 1822. Each of the twelve volumes is beautifully bound in a contemporary all-leather gilt-tooled binding, each with three raised bands, floral decorations and gilt-tooled borders. Each volume has marbled endpapers and an engraved frontispiece illustration. The books are designed for children, and are produced in a small format, 135mm x 88mm. Each volume is approximately 200 pages. A beautiful set in contemporary bindings - scarce thus. ***Each of the volumes is in very good condition, with complete and unshaken bindings. There is wear and tear to each volume which is commensurate with their age and fragility, such as staining to the covers, rubbing to the spines, and occasional creases and marks to the pages, but none of the volumes has any significant damage or splitting to the bindings. [Please see scans] ***The following volumes comprise the set: Claire d'Albe (precedee d'une notice historique sur l'auteur) 1822, Malvina (3 vols.) 1819-1820, Amelie Mansfield (3 vols.) 1820-22, Mathilde (ou Memoires tires de l'histoire des Croisades, precedes d'un tableau historique des Croisades et de la Conquete de Constantinople) (4 vols) 1820-1822, Elisabeth (ou les Exiles de Siberie precedes d'une notice historique sur l'auteur seivie du poeme de la prise de Jericho) 1820. ***'Sophie Cottin (22 Mar 1770 - 25 Aug 1807) was a French writer whose novels were popular in the 19th century, and were translated into several different languages. Marie Sophie Ristaud (sometimes spelt Risteau) was born in Mar 1770 at Tonneins. She was not yet twenty when she married her first husband, Jean-Paul-Marie Cottin, a banker. She wrote several romantic and historical novels including Elizabeth; or, the Exiles of Siberia (Elisabeth ou les Exilés de Sibérie (1806), a "wildly romantic but irreproachably moral tale", according to Nuttall's Encyclopaedia. She also published Claire d'Albe (1799), Malvina (1801), Amélie de Mansfield (1803), Mathilde (1805), set in the crusades, and a prose-poem, La Prise de Jéricho. Her writing became more important to her after her first husband died when she was in her early twenties. She went to live with a cousin and her three children at Champlan (Seine-et-Oise) but died at the age of 37 in Paris on 25 Aug 1807.' [Wiki] ***A lovely 12 volume set of this fascinating set of the complete works of Madame Cottin (Sophie Ristaud-Cottin) in small format designed for children. Complete sets are extremely hard to come by, especially in such collectable condition, in contemporary bindings. These children's books from the early 19th Century are extremely scarce survivors, especially as a complete set. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
