Paris, Desenne, (Imprimerie Rabaut le Jeune), an VII [1799]. In-12 (145 x 90 mm), broché, couverture de papier vieux rose d'origine, étiquette de titre imprimée au dos, (1) f. de titre orné d'une vignette, (2), 227 pages, planche gravée frontispice, imprimé sur grand papier vergé. Edition originale illustrée d'un frontispice et d'une vignette de titre gravés par Berthet. La finesse de la typographie, la qualité des ornements et des gravures, ainsi que le beau papier vergé font de ce volume une production de luxe, remarquable par le soin de sa présentation.Roman sentimental d'inspiration néoclassique, idyllique et allégorique, dont l'action se situe dans la Grèce antique. Le récit relate l'initiation sentimentale et esthétique d'un jeune peintre originaire de Nisée, port de Mégare en Mégaride. La trame, qui conduit le héros entre Athènes, Corinthe et les hauts lieux symboliques de la Grèce ancienne, relève moins du roman historique que d'une pastorale morale nourrie de références mythologiques. La prose, attentive aux nuances de l'amour, de la pudeur et de la coquetterie, témoigne du goût directorial pour une Antiquité grecque idéalisée, cadre poétique et moral de l'analyse des passions.Fils d'un négociant marseillais, François-Joseph-Henri de Girard (1761-1854) fit carrière dans l'administration avant d'être appelé en 1811 par le Sénat conservateur à représenter le Vaucluse au Corps législatif. "Praxile" est le seul ouvrage littéraire qu'il composa.(Martin, "Bibliographie du genre romanesque français, 1751-1800", p. 431, n° 99.89).Exceptionnel exemplaire tel que paru, imprimé sur beau papier vergé, conservant sa couverture de papier vieux rose et son étiquette de dos imprimée d'origine. Petite étiquette de l'éditeur Desenne collée à l'intérieur de la couverture.…
