LOUIS-MARIE BAJOT
Eloge de la Paume et de ses avantages, sous le rapport de la santé et du développement des facultés physiques. Paris: Firmin Didot Frères, 1854. 8° (22.2 x 13.7cm), 255 [1]p., with half-title, full-page woodcut illustration (half-title laid down, marginal repairs to title and preliminaries, also to several end leaves), brown morocco gilt by Thomas Alcott, c. 1950, top edge gilt, others uncut. Provenance: presentation copy, signed and inscribed to "Monsieur Durand ancien chef ... Ministgaere de la Marine" above half-title.
Fourth edition, with a much augmented "Discours préliminaire" including a medical thesis of 1745, intended to answer the question: "La paume est-elle un préservatif contre le rhumatisme?" The woodcut shows the "Plan du jeu de courte paume du Louvre en 1555". This edition concludes with a bibliography of "Autres ouvrages anciens et modernes sur la gymastique en général" which includes a reference to James Dance's Cricket An Heroic Poem, a possible source of inspiration for the Eloge, the text of which again contains variations from previous editions. Garnett p. 292; Handerson p. 188.
