See Bib# 4103001/Fr# 1366 for the original edition of Poésies, edited in good faith from the Marquis de Surville’s papers by Charles Vanderbourg in 1803; see Bib# 2060052/Fr# 1367 for the elegant ‘nouvelle édition’ of 1824, in original drab wrappers, uncut.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4103003" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
