Complaint on the death of high and mighty lord the right of descent, by Cadet Roussel and a company of publicists, jurisconsults, and people of letters. Third edition. Paris, Touquet, no date [1826].
Booklet in-32 of 31 pp. stapled, printed buff paper cover, modern red half-maroquin folder.
Third edition, published the year of the original.
Long attributed to Nerval, the satirical booklet is essentially the work of Félix Bodin.
Nerval, barely 18 years old, would have composed the last two stanzas of the Complainte.
In the same year, he adopted the pseudonym of Beuglant, a friend of Cadet Roussel, for his first publications.
