Translation of: The green box of Monsieur de Sartine, found at Mademoiselle du The's lodgings. London, 1779.

Second of four variant editions of the original French text, The Hague, 1779. Imprint fictitious. According to Butterfield, published in England. The present edition is distinguished from the original and the first variant edition by its signatures, its typesetting and by some differences on the title page, including the printing error "Cinquiéme" (for "Cinquième") in the edition statement, a comma following the place of publication (rather than a colon), a different distribution of the words forming the two lines of the publisher statement, and periods followed by a space rather than commas followed by no space marked off in the date (in Roman numerals). Also, the ornamental frame on the title page and other typographical devices throughout the text are different. The present edition agrees with the first variant edition in having the title page line "Monsieur de Sartine," printed in black ink.

A political satire and bibliographical hoax, purporting to be secret papers found. For details see under the original edition, The Hague, 1779.

Title surrounded by an ornamental frame.
