Abstract
A curious book. A whole set of blank pages of different paper quality is inserted before 29 and after the close of the book, where one learns that Quantin at least printed the book. This book may represent the worst page-cutting job I have ever seen! There are thirteen full-page inserted engravings, apparently after a variety of artists including Grandville (e.g., MSA facing 57). The best of them face 131 (the eagle and the owl), 146 (the buck admiring himself), and 212 (women and a secret). There are helpful notes from Walckenaer, Chamfort, and F.L.
