Deals with the "Lettre du roi Wakhtang v [i.e. VI] tirée de la collection d'autographes de m. de Monmerque".

The two folded facsimiles, in Georgian script, are: the letter of Vakhtang written to the king of France and the address and letter's seal.

Lib. copy has original(?) letter, address, and wax seal folded and bound in at back, following the two folded facsimiles.

Lib. copy has on p. preceding t.p.: two notes in ink written by Monmerqué. Note 1 dated déc. 1833 that indicates he has included the original letter in Georgian and also the facsimile letter of le Sage. Note 2 dated sept. 1844 on Brosset's trip to St. Petersburg. Below these two notes in ink is a handwritten note in pencil that indicates the previous two notes above it were written by Monmerqué.

Lib. copy has also two additional facsimile letters folded at back: letter dated 18 juin 1715 signed Le Sage (Le Sage, Alain René, 1668-1747) preceded by leaf with his portrait, and a letter dated 15 mai 1832 and addressed to m. Monmerqué, conseilleur a la cour royale, concerning the Le Sage letter and Brosset from Hèrimon (?).
