Paris, Veuve Méquignon, 1746. 2 parts in one volume in-4, marbled basane, spine decorated, red title, red edges (Binding of the time). INED, n°1643. First edition of the author's main work, decorated with a large folding table.

I, p. 626). The second part, in separate pagination, gives the variations in the price of things during five centuries, from 1202 to 1742: a pound of cinnamon, ginger, licorice, pepper, saffron, rice, butter, or sugar, a barrel of wine, a sheep, a horse, an ox, a pig, a "man's day," the wages paid to 6 grape pickers for harvesting 1/2 an acre in 1515, a woolen glove, a pair of shoes, a pint of barley, bran, or oats, etc. Light staining at the corner of several quires, some foxing.
