Toulouse, Dupin, Larnaudie, 1843. In-8: 250pp; light banding on part of the leaves in the margin. Printed bookplate. ½ brown chagrin, gilt title and fillets on smooth spine. The original is from 1842 with a map under the title "Histoire spéciale et pittoresque de Bagnères de Luchon" which later disappears in the second and third. The first part of the text entitled "historical facts" is a kind of "statistics" of the valley with important notes on the fauna and flora, the second part (p. 127 and following) named "dramatic facts" gives pretext to the narration and CASTILLON tells some romantic stories on the background of the Pyrenees (Labarère 356).
