Cérémonies anciennes et nouvelles du sacre des rois de France. Paris, 1775; in-8, contemporary binding in tiger calf, with gilded arms in the center of the boards, ornate smooth spine, red parts, red edges. Original edition remained anonymous. Interesting section on the Children of France crowned during their father's lifetime. Pleasantly bound with the coat of arms of Charles de Barbarat de Marizot, President of the Parliament of Metz from 1764 to 1771. Following the ceremonial is a short poem by Dorat (8 pp.) published in 1774, entitled Le Nouveau Règne, ode à la Nation. Very discreet restoration at the head. Guigard, Bibliothèque héraldique de la France, 2121 - Olivier, Hermal et Roton, Manuel de l'amateur de reliures armoriées françaises, pl. 268.
