First edition, rare, of this collection of witticisms and funny stories published as a "supplement" to a reprint of the famous Les Délices, ou Discours joyeux et récréatifs by Verboquet, and since reprinted in its wake, "although it is probably not by the same author" according to Paul Lacroix (PL. Jacob, Enigmes et découvertes bibliographiques). Full cream parchment-covered cardboard Bradel binding, modern. Black sheep title-label. Foxing. A pale dampstain in the upper margin. A black stain in the lower margin of leaf 2. Very rare and amusing testimony to popular humor and the art of facetious anecdote.
