Description: Historia Secreta de la Corte y Gabinete de St. Cloud, Distribuidas en Cartas escritas en Paris el Ano de 1805 a un Lord de Inglaterra reimpresa en Neuva Yorck, y traducida al Castellano por un Espanol Americano Author: (Goldsmith, Lewis) (Napoleon) Title: Historia Secreta de la Corte y Gabinete de St. Cloud, Distribuidas en Cartas escritas en Paris el Ano de 1805 a un Lord de Inglaterra reimpresa en Neuva Yorck, y traducida al Castellano por un Espanol Americano Publication: New York (?): Con Licensia, 1809 Description: Hardcover. Possibly printed in New York in 1809 but the binding style seems distinctly Spanish, whereas the typographical font strikes us more as American than Spanish. 8vo, full vellum with leather ties, 294 pp, with 2 pp dedication by the translator to his Spanish-American readers, and a 2 pp. afterword (Nota del Reimpresor) that is also directed toward an American audience. Good copy, light usual wear to binding, contents a little age toned and blotchy, endpapers somewhat wrinkled and worn. Goldsmith gives a scurrilous account of the intrigues, chaos and decadence at the Chateau de St. Cloud, 5K from Paris, where Napoleon made himself Emperor of France in May 1804. The Spanish version was first published in Cadiz in 1806, again in 1808, and there was also an edition published in Mexico in 1808, but those all have publisher information on the title page, unlike this edition, which might represent a pirated edition of some sort. Good.
