France Littéraire, La. First published under the title of

“Bibliographie Moderne,” and when Q. was totally unknown. (To

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.)

Lowndes’ Bibliographers’ Manuel, in his “Hand-book to the

popular, poetical, and dramatic Litt. of Great Britain, from

the invention of printing to the Restoration. 1867. 8ᵛᵒ.”, 20

(Though the word does not occur on the title-page, this is a most

accurate bibliographical work, done most conscientiously. The

author, doubtless, had very good reasons for confining it to

the dreadful dryness attaching to such works when uncombined

with biography.)
