(1) This is the second only of two articles on the subject which appeared in "La Presse" (the latter on the 16th of September, 1847); they were reprinted in the "Revue de Paris" in October and November, 1847. Apparently the first has not been reprinted.
Of these, Nos. 3, 4, 7, 9, 10 and 14 appeared first in "Le Mousquetaire;" as did also No. 5, but over the name of Alexandre Dumas fils. Nos. 1, 2, 8, 11 and 12 were first issued in "Le Monte-Cristo."
No. 1 also appeared in 1858 as a pamphlet. (Refer to page 354.)
A reprint of No. 9 was included in the "Nouvelle Galerie des Artistes Dramatiques Vivants;" Paris, Librairie Théâtrale, 2 vols., 4to., with 82 portraits, 1855. The article in "Propos d'Art et de Cuisine" has however been considerably enlarged as compared with both the other appearances.
For No. 12, "La Revue Nocturne," one must turn to "Le Monte-Cristo" under date of July 23rd, 1857, for the final verse, which has apparently been omitted from all subsequent printings.
Original edition : Paris, Michel Lévy Frères, 1 vol., large 18mo., 1877.
It still forms one volume in the standard Calmann-Lévy series.
In Le Vasseur's "Alexandre Dumas Illustré" the collection forms part of Vol. XXIV.
