A Dijon, chez Victor Lagier, 1841. 31 pp. (Pages 27 to 31 contain a list of works by Gabriel Peignot). All bound together in a later halfleather binding with marbled boards. Five works by the prolific writer Gabriel Peignot bound together in one volume. It has often been wondered how Peignot was able to do all the work he did. Bigmore & Wyman enlighten us: "His secret was that from the hour he began to read he began to write: left hand never held a book that right hand had not a pen. Every leisure moment he gave to book and pen; he noted everything he read or heard in commonplace books under proper heads - authors, titles, subjects, words, thoughts, references to kindred subjects." According to the list at the end of this volume all his works were printed in a very limited number. Obviously assembled by an admirer of Gabriel Peignot. Especially the first work on bookbinding is of interest. Souvenirs contains Ferrare: De Quelques livers du Tasse, à Ferrare
