Delille, Jacques (abbé). - Les Jardins ou l'art d'embellir les paysages, poem. Paris, Valade and Cazain, 1782. Fourth edition. In-8 bound in marbled calf, long spine decorated - 2 corners pierced, small wormholes, upper board unstained, tail cap shaved - VIII, 141 pp, plate out of text by Cochin, engraved by Laurent at the beginning of song I and title vignette by Laurent. Ex-libris printed from the library of P. Perrin. - Jacques Delille was already a famous poet when he wrote Les jardins, inspired by Virgil's Les Géorgiques and Nicolas Rapin's L'art des jardins. This work brought him to the top of his fame and became one of the greatest texts of descriptive and classical poetry. He praises and poetically describes the English garden, with its immense landscaped parks of trees and water. He also laments the trees of Versailles that had just been cut down.
