Add to basketTwo rare works, probably both London-printed, by the Chevalier D'Eon - the French diplomat recognised as one of the first openly transgender figures in European print. The Lettres appear here in their second edition, identical to (and swiftly following) the first, but with a new preface, while the Dernières Lettres is in its rare first edition (at least one more followed).Following a successful military career d'Eon served Louis XV in English diplomacy and espionage from 1762, gathering defence intelligence for a projected French invasion. Living lavishly in London he alarmed the French government, who stopped his pension and sought to recall him to France. He became embroiled in a bitter row with his compatriot Claude Louis François Régnier de Guerchy (1715-1767), who he saw as an interloper on his diplomatic patch. 'From October 1763 the dispute took a spectacular turn as d'Eon published allegations that Guerchy had tried to poison him. In March 1764, he went further still and published a selection of his diplomatic papers, which heaped ridicule on Guerchy and his allies in France' (the present Lettres discussed by Burrows, A King's Ransom). The dispute was an embarrassment to the French, not least because d'Eon successfully brought the matter to the English courts and because it drew attention to the chevalier's increasingly complex personal life. It was in the wake of this affair that the chevalier went into hiding in Byfleet (Surrey), spending a year disguised as a woman and going by the name of Madame Duval. This trans experiment initiated the period in which, D'Eon lived partly as a woman and became a celebrated figure in London society.The Dernière lettre is a superb piece of propaganda issued on d'Eon's behalf appearing after the comte de Guerchy's death in 1767 and reproducing the last letter sent to him by d'Eon recounting the facts of the poisoning case together with extensive translations from English legal records of the law case as it worked its way, very publicly, through the courts.This copy is from the library of politician John Baker Holroyd, 1st Baron Sheffield (1735-1821, friend of Edward Gibbon). 3 parts, pp. [8], xxxvi, [2], 178, 181-202; [2], 75, [1]; [2], 59, [3], double page letterpress table after p. 178 in part 1 (as called for), final errata leaf bound at the end of the volume.[bound with:] Dernière lettre du Chevalier D'Eon a M.

The Chevalier was finally persuaded to leave England and retire to France on a pension, on condition that he resume female attire for the rest of his life. The news of his departure was a severe disappointment to all those who had engaged in wild speculation as to his true sex to the tune of some 120,000 pounds in unsettled bets. Cioranescu 27692.…

Erste Ausgabe des Ergänzungsbandes der im gleichen Jahr erschienenen dreibändigen "Lettres, mémoires, ." des geheimnis- und skandalumwitterten Chevalier d'Eon (1728 - 1810), der sich länger als vierzig Jahre als Mann gezeigt hatte, nach einander Officier und Dragonercapitain, Doctor des bürgerlichen und kanonischen Rechts, Parlamentsadvocat in Paris, außerordentlicher Gesandter (u.a. in London), bevollmächtigter Minister war, sich Ritter von Eon nannte und sich plötzlich als Weib erkannte, die Kleidung eines solchen annahm und sich Ritterin von Eon nannte. Der Zweifel über d'Eons wahres Geschlecht und der Besitz kompromittierender Briefe seines Königs erregten das Interesse der Öffentlichkeit ebenso wie das der französischen Regierung, die skrupellos genug war, vor Mordversuchen gegen d'Eon nicht zurückzuschrecken (vgl. Hoefer XVI, S. 100 ff.).- Hayn/Gotendorf II, 156; Weller, Druckorte 168. Sprache: Französisch.…

Quérard 3:25. - The first edition was published in Amsterdam 1774-1775 and a second printing in 1775. According to our research, a number of sets held in institutions are incomplete including the BNF copy (1775 ed.) which is also missing volume 9. The Chevalier D'Eon de Beaumont (1728-1810) was a French diplomat, writer and adventurer who gained attention in diplomatic circles over the supposed mystery of his sex. While in his twenties, he became an astute political writer. He was soon noticed by the French court of Louis XV and was selected to fulfill the role of secret agent at the court of Russia. This is where he disguised himself for the first time as a woman, while assuming the position of Reader to the empress Elizabeth. On other missions, in London for instance, the Chevalier d'Eon would appear in male attire which ended up exciting the public over his true identity. The publication of his Loisirs in Amsterdam in 1774 and 1775, which is an extremely varied work covering the Chevalier's diplomatic career, continued to stimulate more gossip in Europe over the mystery of his sex, to the extent where bets were laid on the matter. At one point, he was declared a female. When the French Revolution occurred, the Chevalier stayed on in London where he may have received a small pension from George III. He died there in 1810, and following an examination of his body, it was finally determined that he was male.…

Add to basket2 volumes bound as 1. Second edition of an interesting financial history by an even more interesting, extravagant and intriguing author. Louis Pierre Mortier published the first edition in 1758 at "London" (= Paris). The full name of the author - referred to on the title as 'Mr. Deon de Beaumont' - is Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Thimothée d'Eon de Beaumont, a French diplomat, writer, spy, and Freemason, a member of the elite Dragoons and one of the best swordsmen of France, whose true gender was a source of speculation and provoked public bets in the late 18th century. Many believed that d'Eon was born female, but had started to dress as a man in his childhood, and changed back from "a bad boy into a good girl" when his secret was revealed decades later. After his death it turned out that he was a man who had dressed as a woman. D'Eon is often called the patron saint of transvestites.With manuscript owner's inscription P. Lemarie 1861 on first blank.

Prima edizione. Il secondo volume contiene l'analisi delle finanze francesi sotto Luigi XIV e la Regence, in particolare durante il sistema di Law. Esame del deprezzamento della moneta- D'Eon de Beaumont fu uno dei personaggi più curiosi del XVIII secolo, erudito, militare, avventuriero, diplomatico, fu incaricato delle più delicate missioni anche di spionaggio- da Luigi XV e XVI in Inghilterra e Russia; eppure la sua fama è dovuta soprattutto ai suoi travestimenti da donna, che fecero molto discutere e dubitare i contemporanei del vero sesso del (o della) Chevalier d'Eon (Vedi Pierre Pinsseau, "L'étrange destinée du Chevalier d'Eon", Paris, 1945).…
