Castres, Vidal Aîné, 1835-1838, 1844. (Small) 8vo (17.0 x 10.6 cm and larger). In four volumes. Original printed wrappers.

A collection of four ephemeral publications on yearly agricultural shows in the town of Castres, in the Tarn département in Southern France between Toulouse and Montpellier. The first (1835) is the smallest; those of 1836, 1837-1838, and 1842-1843 (published 1844) are about 21 x 13.5 cm. The last one was not published by Vidal but, as stated on the front wrapper and title, was for sale in three bookshops in Castres, and one in Toulouse (of the latter, J. M. Douladoure probably being the printer and publisher). All are edited, and partly written, by the writer, historian, and lawyer Anacharsis Combes (1797-1877). The 1836 and 1837-1838 edition are present twice and not counted by us. Uncut. Soiling to the wrappers, otherwise very good. Rare. None of them available on the internet. OCLC reports only the 1836 edition in two French libraries.
