A Londres et se trouve à Paris, chés les libraires nommés en tête du catalogue, 1788-1794. 16 volumes in-8° formant 8 tomes et 16 parties, couvertures de livraison, sous 3 chemises et 9 étuis modernes de papier marbré, pièces de titre et de tomaison dorées sur veau fauve. Edition originale de cet exemplaire exceptionnel, complet de la quinzième et de la rarissime seizième partie, de toutes ses 19 planches (attribuées à Binet) ainsi que du célèbre grand portrait dépliant de Restif en tête de la douzième partie. Parmi les planches figurent la rare "Billard des gueux" (face à la page 1864) et la planche représentant Bailly remettant les clefs de Paris à Louis XVI, toutes deux sont absentes de la plupart des exemplaires. La seizième partie s'ouvre sur une saisissante planche en frontispice représentant Charlotte Corday conduite à l'échafaud. L'exemplaire est enrichi d'un portrait d'époque en couleurs de la comédienne Louise Contat, placé dans la douzième partie face à la page 2645. Les quatorze premières parties sont à pagination continue : (2) feuillets, 3359 pages. La quinzième (Paris, Guillot, 1790 ; 264 p. et 12 f. de tables) parut deux ans plus tard sous le titre "Semaine nocturne". La seizième partie, publiée en pleine Terreur en 1794, est donnée comme "rarissime" par Rives Childs et "presque introuvable" par Cohen. Le libraire Mérigot, inquiet de la tournure des événements, n'osa pas la mettre en vente et détruisit la plupart des exemplaires en sa possession ; le bibliophile Jacob affirmait qu'"on peut s'assurer qu'il n'en existe pas dix exemplaires". "Les Nuits de Paris sont plus qu'un recueil d'anecdotes pittoresques : pour leur étrangeté poétique, le mystère qu'on devine dans les détails familiers, la bizarrerie des rencontres, on peut les rapprocher d'oeuvres modernes inspirées par la capitale, Le Spleen de Paris, Le Paysan de Paris ou Nadja" (Coulet, 'Le Roman jusqu'à la Révolution', p. 493). Avec leurs XVe et XVIe parties, les Nuits constituent également un journal de la Révolution depuis avril 1789 jusqu'en octobre 1793, dont Rives Childs souligne "l'intérêt exceptionnel". (Cohen, 882. Lacroix, 258. Rives Childs, XXIV, p. 303-307). Grand ex-libris gravé et cachet de la bibliothèque des princes Starhemberg sur cinq des volumes. Quelques accrocs et petites restaurations éparses, taches sans gravité et brunissures aux deux derniers volumes. Tous les volumes sont brochés et non rognés. Très bon exemplaire. ((Exemplaire bien complet de la rarissime XVIe partie)).…
