Specialist Notes
First edition, with the exception of t. VIII which is in second edition. Complete series of the first edition are almost impossible to find. Some volumes of the second part correspond to the limited number of copies (1000 out of 3500 of the entire edition) which, "pour une raison qu'on ignore", were printed with the title of Les Jolies-femmes du commune and the other particularities noted by Rives Childs (pp. 260-261). & nbsp;
