NOTES
Publisher given as "Mme. Veuve [widow] Richard, Libraire, rue Haute-Feuille." Her husband having died in October of 1801, she continued to run his publishing business quite successfully. She remarried in 1805 to printer-publisher Jean-Georges-Antoine Stoupe, but continued using the professional name "Veuve Richard." At the back of this book from 1802 is indicated "De L'Imprimerie de Stoupe" which means they were probably both involved in the production of many of the same books well before they married.
