Prosper Dinaux is here the pseudonym of P. P. Goubaux; joint authorship, under the pseudonym, erroneously ascribed to J. F. Beudin.

Probably sheets of the edition listed (no. 1208) in the Bibliographie de la France for 5 March 1842.

Adapted from the novel by Dickens.

The worn type and the brittle paper suggest this is a later printing (probably from stereotyped plates, possibly in the 1860s).

Bound with 30 other contemporary French libretti and play texts (most printed by Dubuisson) and one publisher's catalog in calf-backed green marbled boards (spine broken); in CMI case.

In a volume containing 25 dramatic works with spine label Théatre. Choix de pièces, 3.
