Paris: Emery, Fruger & Compagnie, 1831. Rather analogous to the language of flowers so popular at the time, this text aims to assemble appropriate sentiments in language into “bouquets” for use on special occasions. Charming little etiquette and social history book in its “Quinzième Edition”, with letter models for children suitable for their ages, and little comedies and scenes to be performed within the family or in pensionnats for young ladies. It is reasonably well represented in libraries, though we have not yet found this edition, nor an edition that specified a hand-coloured frontispiece such as we have here. GUMUCHIAN 3174. Possibly first issued in 1801.l Ref. 16949 Appropriate Good Wishes...as in a Bouquet. 12mo (13 x 8 cm);viii +(9-)214 pp., including hand-coloured frontispiece.
