First complete edition of the French text; vol. 1 previously published by Bohn in 1779.  According to Realms of childhood, cited below, the 1779 date in volume 1 "is certainly spurious as there are too many similarities in type composition between it and the 1782 second volume; perhaps the earlier date was given as a reference to the Bohn version .."
