About This Item
According to Barbier, there is some evidence that a certain "Abbé Desplaces" had a hand in commissioning Génard to write the work, which enjoyed something of a succès de scandale. The excitement must have quickly crossed the channel, as this English translation appeared in the same year as the first French edition, for which the printer Laroche was arrested; and several London editions quickly followed.
