Malmontet, Essay on Spanish Literature. In Paris, Chez Charles Barrois, 1810. In-8 of 193-(1) pp., folded picture, half calf olive, smooth spine decorated, red morocco title piece (contemporary binding). First edition established by Senator Jean-Barthélemy Lecouteulx de Canteleu. "Spanish literature is generally little known and badly judged. The very nation to which it belongs does not possess as much knowledge on this subject as one might suppose. Not that there are no well-educated strong men in Spain; but education is not widespread and is concentrated in the offices of a few scholars or in the interior of a few cloisters. The severity of censorship and several other causes have almost always been opposed to the spread of enlightenment. A worn headdress. Quérard V, 474.
