The book appeared with this title in Paris in 1640 and the Elzeviers published their first edition in 1641 (including the Complimens from at least 1644). But we have seen references to a similar La Serre title (Le Secretaire de la Cour) published at Lyons in 1633 and already including the Complimens.With an early owner's inscription on the title-page, and the bookplate of the University of Pennsylvania. A very good copy. A useful aid for expressing oneself properly both written and orally.

About Us
ASHER Rare Books celebrates its 175th anniversary!
In 1830 Adolphus Asher (1800-1853) in Berlin established the firm that still bears its name. He quickly became one of the main agents supplying antiquarian books to the British Museum as well as to eminent nineteenth-century scientists such as Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin.
In 1933 the company was forced to leave Berlin and relocated in Amsterdam. From 1946 onwards the company has issued numerous catalogues in the fields of natural history, science and travel and voyages. After the retirement of Nico Israel in 1995, the new owner moved the company to its present location in IJmuiden, about twenty kilometres west of Amsterdam, where it now operates under the name of ASHER Rare Books. The management is formed by Michael J. Roos and Julius W. Steiner.
