[NAPOLEON IER]. CAPELLE (PIERRE)
Dictionnaire de morale, de science et de littérature. Paris, Capelle et Renand, 1810 2 volumes in-8, contemporary long-grained red morocco, border and roulette, coat of arms in the centre, spine decorated, lining and endpapers of blue moire decorated with roulettes, gilt edges, modern red morocco spine cases.
A very nice copy with the arms of Napoleon I accompanied by this inscription: Napoleon emperor of the French.
The subject of the book, the poverty of the edition and the sumptuousness of the binding make one think of a prize binding of an imperial high school.
