BACHAUMONT, CHAPEL. Journey of the gentlemen of Bachaumont and La Chapelle, with a description of all the most remarkable things they saw in the places where they passed, directed and put in order both in verse and prose by the sieur***. S.l., s.n., 1698. In-12, [1] f., 164 p., 18th c. blond calf, spine with 5 ribs, title piece garnet calf, boxes and dishes edged with a gold fillet, gilt roulette on the cups, gilt slices (gnawed headdress, one blunt corner, some spots on the dishes). A curious work whose title does not reflect its contents: the first fifty pages do contain a travel story, the rest of the volume is made up of several entertaining pieces, including a comedy, "Le chapelain décoiffé", a story "Le réformateur de l'année 1697", galant poems, etc.
