[MORANDE, Charles Thenevue de]. Le Gazetier Cuirasse: ou Anecdotes Scandaleuses de la Cour de France. [N.p. but London:] Imprimé à cent lieues de la Bastille à l'enseigne de la liberté, 1771. 8vo (171 x 100mm.) (Browning, occasional, light spotting, name in ink to title.) Original boards (rubbing, surface loss to spine). Note: the book is inscribed on the front free endpaper to the English novelist, E.M. Forster. The inscription reads 'á mon tres tres cher ami, Signor Morgano Forstano, SRM'. The inscription was written by Syed Ross Masood, Forster's first love. Syed always told Forster that one day he would write a book about India. Forster demurred for a long time. Eventually, when Passage to India was published, he dedicated it to Syed.
