LA FOUDRE Journal of Historical News, Literature, Spectacles, Arts and Fashions, edited by a society of people of the world and men of letters No. 1, May 10, 1821-No. 137, March 30, 1823. In Paris, at the Office of the Journal, and at Petit and Ponthieu. Texts by Chateaubriand, Benjamin Constant, A. Hugo, Victor Hugo, A. Martainville, Charles Nodier, C. de Rivarol, etc. 57 engravings, some of them folding, 30 pages of music. 8 volumes in 5 in-8 bound. Handwritten notes by Vasseur (5 ff.). A handwritten note at the end of the last volume indicates: "Here La Foudre changes format and then appeared in sheets entitled one La Foudre the other L'Éclair which appeared alternately so that every day one had one or the other. But the editorial staff had lost a lot and gave completely in the pun and the point. These two sheets were published for only two months and La Foudre returned to the first quires which appeared every five days as before. But the editorial staff having regained neither its interest nor its vigor, people stopped subscribing to it. One can thus consider the present collection complete in its first form.
