Catalogue Note
According to a manuscript note in the first volume, this set was bought in Brighton for the duchesse in 1849. Van Praet records two volumes only of this work, as part of the Bibliothèque des dames chrétiennes, "Le seul exemplaire a été acquis par S.A.R. Madame, Duchesse de Berri". Simier's ticket styles him as "Relieur du Roi, de S.A.R. Madame, Duchesse de Berry, et de S.A.R. Mr le Duc de Bordeaux".
