Caption title: Le pauvre diable, ouvrage en vers aisés, de feu Mr. Vadé; mis en lumiére par Catherine Vadé sa cousine. Dédié a Maitre Abraham ****.
In fact, by Voltaire. Cf. Quérard, J.M. Supercheries littéraires, III, col. 889-890.
"Le pauvre diable" was previously published in 1760 with the same imprint, but printed in Geneva by the Cramers. Cf. BN, no. 2361.
BN describes this ed. as "vraisemblablement faite à Paris, d'après la précédente [BN, no. 2361], mais les noms propres sont restitués."
Actual date of publication from BN and Bengesco.
Signatures: A-B⁸.
Type flower headpieces and factotums.
Includes also the verse satire "La vanité" (p. [21]-26) and "Requête de Jérome Carré" (p. [27]-32). Both were previously published in 1760, the latter under title "Requête adressée à messieurs les Parisiens par B. Jerôme Carré." Cf. BN 2390, 3888, Bengesco, 686, 1646, and Duckworth, R1. The "Requête" is a riposte to Fréron's review of Voltaire's play L'Écossaise, with which it was subsequently issued, under title: "A messieurs les Parisiens."
