The present collection of blasons or laudatory poems includes some rare writings which had never been published. There are some cartons replacing poems which were too free, hence the irregular pagination. - Nice copy of a curious anthology. - Barbier I, 438 b (quotes copies with the date 1807 and 1809); Quérard, Superchéries, I, 965 c; Quérard, La France littéraire VI, 51.
