SAND (George). Unsigned autograph document, sl, sd (c. 1840), 2 pp. in-4, relating to the popular edition of Sand's complete works opposed by François Buloz and the Bonnaire brothers: "It resulted from the examination that Monsieur Durmont was kind enough to make of the two attached treaties, that as from January 1842 I was entitled to reprint the works designated in the 1st treaty, and that those designated in the second, having no fixed term for disposal, could be the subject of a serious discussion. But as regards the works published between the 1st and 2nd treaties, those which are not designated in either of them, I would be entitled to publish them immediately. Mrs Buloz and Bonnaire, or the booksellers to whom they have sold the remaining copies, relying on the opinion of Mr Boinvilliers avocat, deny this right and claim that these works fall under the conditions of those of the last treaty and therefore, as long as there remain more than one hundred copies, are unlimited property in their hands. [...] I would demand that they set a reasonable deadline for the sale of the works included in the last treaty, and in return for this concession, I would grant them the right not to announce or begin the popular edition of works not included in any treaty before January 1842. [...]" François Buloz attracted George Sand to the Revue des deux mondes in December 1832. This exclusive collaboration lasted ten years, until they broke up in 1842 over the novel Horace, about the June 1832 insurrection, which Buloz considered too political. George Sand published Horace in the Revue indépendante she had just founded. The rift between Sand and Buloz lasted almost 15 years.
