Essai de bibliographie pratique, Paris 1906, 262. Arents 275: "The author presents, in verse, a most disturbing picture of the effects of smoking: the hearts as well as the brains of smokers become black, and tobacco addicts are lost spiritually and physically. The author himself, formerly an inveterate smoker, has, at the last minute, been saved from the abyss by a certain good influence, which he neglects to specify. He is now using the solitude and safety of his present retreat to write this warning." – Bereits im folgenden Jahr jedoch verfaßte derselbe Autor einen Lobpreis auf den Tabak, vorgeblich als Antwort auf seine eigene Schmähung. – Leicht fleckig, gering gebräunt. – Sehr selten. Slightly soiled, minimally browned. – Very rare. – Modern half calf.
