Privat d'Anglemont, a Bohemian journalist, "devoted many articles to the Paris of small trades and rare industries [...], which appeared in newspapers, particularly Le Siècle, and were collected in two volumes: Paris anecdote (1854) and Paris inconnu (1861) [...]. Privat d'Anglemont explored Paris by night with the same spirit of adventure, the same appetite for discovery that one might feel for more distant lands." (Jean-Pierre A.

Lacombe, no. 1144; Van Tieghem, p. 4071. "Genuine first edition (and only edition in this format) of this famous work which, as we still remember, caused such a stir in Paris when it first appeared. The first two books, devoted to the press, and the third, devoted to Parisian entertainment (theaters, cafés-concerts, etc.), provoked the strongest complaints in the world and in the newspapers because of the violence they contained [...]. Louis Veuillot often painted his characters under assumed names. We find Passionnard d'Auvergne (Jules Vallès), Eliassin Lupus (Albert Wolff), Amanda Pigeonnier (Marie Colombier), Passe-Partout (Adrien Marx), Lilia (George Sand) [...]." A compendium of erudite, reactionary nastiness...
