GROTE, George
Histoire de la Gr'ece ...
Librarie Internationale, Paris 1864. 9 volumes, 8vo., WITH 4-PAGE AUTOGRAPH LETTER FROM GROTE, folding maps, contemporary green calf-backedmarbled boards, spines ruled in gilt and black, morocco lettering pieces, a very handsome set.
The letter from Grote is to a M. Tardieu who wishes to translate the work into French. Grote likes the idea but asks if Tardieu is up to the task. Presumably he wasn't, as the book is translated by A.-L. de Sadous.
