                        GOURMONT (Rémy de).
Morose proses. P., Mercure de France, [1894], grand in-12 diary, 101 p., midnight blue half-maroquin with corners, smooth spine richly decorated in long and mosaic, author, gilt title and head, illustrated cover and spine. (binding signed Ch. Septier). Fictitious mention of second edition, enriched with a watercolour with false title (unidentified artist). "Remy de Gourmont included in this booklet the cruel science of the soul and flesh of the Laclos and Sade [...]; but the perversity of the "morose proses" is more nuanced and varied" (Marcel Schwob). A very fine example.
