his great detriment, the publishers made the first edition
1600 copies, which have not been sold off in forty years, thus
rendering a second edition impossible (see No. XXVIII., p.
17). After the publication of the above first part, so many
alterations were suggested that Q. cancelled and republished
it under the title of “La France Littéraire,” (see Biblio. de
la France—Pillet Ainé—for 1827.) The large paper copies (p.
13) were not for sale. The parts of the work were published
quarterly. The 10 vols. sell at 120 francs. Vols. xi. and xii.
form a sort of index and revision of Quérard’s works, and a
supplement up to their dates. With the prospectus of vol. xii.
two pages for substitution were issued in 1857, which also
contained several pages (4-6) of errors and omissions of L. L.
F. C. These two vols. sell at 60 francs.)

for a publisher for L. F. L., Panckoucke was base enough to offer

who was then a youthful enthusiast, at such a proposition can be
imagined.)

TRAVAUX INEDITS DE QUÉRARD _L’Intermédiare_ (III. 585, 665,) a annoncé
que j’avais fait l’acquisition des papiers formant le cabinet du
regrettable Quérard. J’ai l’intention de publier ce qui, dans ces
manuscrits, se trouvera en état d’être livré à l’impression. Je
commencerai par les _Supercheries littéraires dévoilées_. Quérard avait
entrepris une édition nouvelle des cinq volumes publiés de 1845 à
1853; il lui donnait des développements nouveaux si étendus, que le nᵒ
125 de l’ancienne édition correspond au nᵒ 1320 dans la 1ʳᵉ livraison
(la seule qui ait vu le jour) de l’édition nouvelle. Il aurait fallu
douze ou quinze ans, et autant de volumes, pour remplir un pareil
cadre. Je n’entends point réimprimer les cinq volumes déjà connus. Je
donnerai _deux_ volumes d’indications toutes nouvelles, recueillies par
l’infatigable bibliographe avec un zèle et une patience dont il serait
difficile de trouver d’autres exemples.
Permettez-moi de recourir à la publicité étendue dont jouit
_l’Intermédiaire_ pour prier les amis des livres et les personnes
qu’intéresse l’étude de la littérature, de vouloir bien m’adresser (_à
Bordeaux, à la Bourse_) les informations qu’ils possèderaient et qui
se rattachent au sujet traité par Quérard (_Pseudonymes et auteurs
déguisés_). Il sera fait usage de ces renseignements avec la plus sincère
reconnaissance, et les noms de ceux qui les transmettront, seront
indiqués, sauf l’expression d’un désir contraire.
GUSTAVE BRUNET.
