Votre très humble serviteur,

LESNÉ.

[6] The above brochure consists of two Letters; each to an anonymous
bibliographical "Confrere:" one is upon the subject of M. Crapelet's
version--the other, upon that of M. Licquet's version--of a portion of
the Tour. The notice of the Works of the Author of the Tour; a list of
the prices for which the Books mentioned in it have been sold; a
Notice of the "Hours of Charlemagne" (see vol. ii. 199) and some
account of the late Mr. Porson "Librarian of the London
Institution"--form the remaining portion of this little volume of
about 160 pages. For the "Curiosités Bibliographiques," consult the
_Bibliomania_, pp. 90, 91, &c. &c.

[7] This letter accompanied another Work of M. Peignot, relating to
editions and translations of the Roman Classics:--and as the reader
will find, in the ensuing pages, that I have been sometime past
labouring under the frightful, but popular, mania of AUTOGRAPHS, I
subjoin with no small satisfaction a fac-simile of the Autograph of
this enthusiastic and most diligent Bibliographer.

[Autograph: Votre tres humble et obéissant serviteur, G. Peignot]

[9] M. Licquet goes on to afford an exemplification of this precipitancy of
conjecture, in my having construed the word _Allemagne_--a village
near to Caen--by that of _Germany_. I refer the reader to p. 168 post,
