MASSON LE GOLFT (Miss). Interview on Le Havre. Le Havre, Chez les libraires, 1781. In-12 brown calf, ornate smooth spine, title p. (period binding). "Le Masson Le Golft (Marie), niece of the learned Abbé Dicquemare, naturalist herself, member of several soc. sav., born in Le Havre on Oct. 25, 1750, died in Rouen on Jan. 3, 1826. She assisted the famous naturalist from Le Havre in his scientific work, and was both his friend and pupil. After Dicquemare's death, she continued the great work on molluscs that he had begun, but which the immensity of publication costs prevented her from bringing to light. On her death, Mlle Le Masson bequeathed her library to the city of Rouen, including the collection of drawings, engravings and copper plates that were to be used in the publication of Abbé Dicquemare's work.
