Notes:
Half-title, v. 2: Histoire générale de Paris. Collection de documents fondée ... par m. le baron Haussmann ... et publiée sous les auspices du Consell municipal ... v. 3: Histoire générale de Paris. Collection dedocuments. publiée sous les auspices de l'édilité parisienne.
Ill. are facsimile reproductions of early views, plans, autograph signatures, manuscripts, book-plates, art bindings, etc. A contribution by L.M. Tisserand, "Ancienne bibliothèque de l'Hotel de Ville", (t. III, p. 181-300) was reissued as a separate v. of the "Histoire générale de Paris" the same year (1873) under title: La prémière bibliothèque de l'Hotel de Ville de Paris (1760-1797). To this issue an "Avant propos" and index were added. The number of impressions taken of three plates illustrating this article seems to have been insufficient to supply both issues. Tisserand having taken care to have the separate issue supplied first one or the other or all three of the plates are usually lacking in t. III of the "Anciennes bibliothèques" where they are specified in the list of ill. as no. LIII (port. of Turgot), LIX ("Les bienfaiteurs de la bibliothèque de la ville", 4 port. on 1 pl.), and LXII ("L'évêque de Callinique", port. of Nicolas de Livry). It may also be noted that although v. 3 is dated 1873, that part containing Tisserand's monograph (written 1869) must have been printed before 1871: no reference is made by note or otherwise to the destruction of the library, May 24, 1871, during the Commune, a fact mentioned however in the "Avant propos" to the separate issue. Of the monographs incorporated by Franklin in this work several had appeared separately in book form, notably the history of the Mazarino (1860) Notre-Dame (1863) Faculté de médecine (1864) Abbaye de Saint Victory (1865), and a series of the shorter notices had been printed in the Bulletin du bibliophile 1864-1870/1 under the caption "Les anciennes bibliothèques de Paris" while some others first printed in the present work were later published separately, designated as second editions, with additions and corrections: Bibliothèque du roi (1875), La Sorbonne (1875).
