About this Item

1890, Octobre, Paris, Typographie A. Hennuyer, pp31 + (i). some pages uncut, wrappers. Inscribed "A mon vieux et cher Armand du Mesnil" by the author. Armand du Mesnil (1819-1903), Directeur de l'enseignement sup? rieur au Minist?®re de l'Instruction publique; Conseiller d'?âtat; Commandeur de la L? gion d'honneur. Bataillard (1816-1894), was an archivist for the French state with more than a passing interest in Gypsies. He collected a huge library of material in many languages, many rare pamphlets, and made many manuscript notes and translations which he stored in about fifty box files. This collection was bequeathed to Manchester Central Library, where it has remained hidden in the stacks, uncatalogued, ever since. I was lucky to be offered the chance to view this collection some years ago when there was talk of disposing of it to raise funds, but as far as I know it is still intact gathering dust. OCLC locates five copies; three in France, Boston Atheneum, National Library of Wales. George F. Black, "A Gypsy Bibliography", 232; Not in Leeds University Romany Catalogue. Wrappers chipped, title page slightly chipped on one corner, otherwise good.
