- Curator's comments
- The publication's date is not known. However, it is possible to narrow the date by the information given in the advertisement of the publisher pasted on the inside of the back cover. In this advertisement, 1829 is specified as 'the next year' ('l'année prochaine'). Therefore, a date in about 1828 seems probable although an earlier date in the 1820s decade can not be excluded.
