Mémoire secret des amours de Louis XV ou anecdote curieuse de la vie de Madame de Pompadour avec luy : à Londres : manuscript, 1772.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60355649

Privately circulated manuscript copy, in an unidentified hand, of Fauques's text concerning Madame de Pompadour and Louis XV, and the corruption of the French court. Madame de Pompadour ordered the suppression of this work but was unsuccessful. It was subsequently published anonymously in 1759 under the title "L'histoire de Madame la marquise de Pompadour" and quickly translated into English and German. This copy is possibly a French translation of an English version, published between 1759 and 1766. The text depicts the same events in the same order as the French printed edition of 1759, however it has a different syntax. Contains 3 engravings: an anonymous engraved portrait (recto of front flyleaf); a view of Versailles engraved by Hubert (verso of front flyleaf); and an engraved portrait of Madame de Pompadour by François Marie Isidore Queverdo, engraved by Le Beau (fol. [1v] following the title page).

1 v. ([1], 1, [1], 2-171, [1] p.) : ill. ; 19 cm.
