About This Item
Only Edition of the author's only book, which includes CHRISTMAS CAROLS IN THE LOCAL DIALECT and a guide to its pronunciation. Helpfully, Billot (1736-1811) explains local traditions and word-play opaque to contemporary readers. His other songs lament the Revolution and celebrate Napoleon's return from Egypt. Printing began in Arbois in 1797. In good condition, later flyleaf inscription of Bruno Donnier.
