Bookseller Notes

Marchand, a lawyer, suffered from Voltairomania. He produced a number of parodies, this being one of them. The play is prefixed by a letter addressed to Voltaire, begging him to cast an eye over it.Barbier attributes to Marchand; Hoefer cites Barbier and adds: cette pice est due, suivant l'abb de La Porte, la collaboration de Meyzieu et de Ducoin.The lower wrapper bears the imprint of La Feuille Villageoise, rue du Thtre de l'galit: Thtre de l'galit was the name bestowed upon l'Odon in 1794.
