[RAMOND de CARBONNIÈRES (Louis François Elisabeth), Baron] Collected Works: * GIRDLESTONE (Cuthbert): Poetry, Politics, the Pyrenees. Louis-François Ramond (1755–1827). His Life, Literary and Political Work. Paris, Minard, 1968 (in-8, publisher’s green cover). * BERALDI (Henri): The History of Pyreneanism. Ramond de Carbonnières. Cardinal de Rohan—Cagliostro. Paris, 1919 (8vo, loose binding). * BOYER (M. J.): Ramond and Auvergne. Clermont-Ferrand, Vissouze, 1930 (8vo, paperback, containing an autograph letter signed by the author). Thesis presented to the University of Toulouse. Rare. This work examines Ramond as a scientist and botanist during his time in Auvergne. Whereas Beraldi and Abbé Cregut had cast doubt on Ramond’s scientific merit, Mademoiselle BOYER (soon to be Mrs. PRAT, a pharmacist in Ambert, Auvergne) highlights the significance of his observations and the botanical expertise of the Prefect of Puy-de-Dôme. * RAMOND de CARBONNIÈRES (Louis François Elisabeth), Baron: Observations on the Alps. 1777. Included in the Translation of COXE’s Letters on Switzerland (1781). Toulouse, Central Pyrenees Section of the Alpine Club, 1927 (1929 on the cover) (8vo, paperback, full margins, uncut). A collection of RAMOND’s observations on the Alps, arranged in chronological order. These fragments “constitute a fundamental work,” according to BERALDI, the editor of this volume.
