Notes: Il n'y a eu que quinze exemplaires imprimés de cet ouvrage.

False imprint.

The t.-p. is a cancel on thin paper; on half-title: Espiegleries, joyeustés, bons-mots, folies, des vérités.

According to a "Nota" at end of v. 3, probably written by the author, these 3 vols. were printed at least twelve years previous to their publication but were seized by the authorities. This is followed by "Observations de l'imprimeur", apologizing for misprints & stating "L'auteur n'a point voulu que j'ajoutasse un errata", & printer's imprint: A Khel, de l'impr. de F. Chanson. 1789.

Also printed from the same setting with half-title (& perhaps with title) "Espiegleries, joyeusetés, bons-mots, folies, des vérités" & with title "Oeuvres de la marquise de Palmarèze".

"L'esprit des moeurs au XVIIIe siecle, ou La petite maison, proverbe en deux actes, et en prose, traduit du congo" (v. 2, p. [5]-120), here with divisional t.-p. purportedly of the "IIIe édition", was written in French apparently by Mérard, though it has also been ascribed to the Marquis de Sade.
