Leon's name on front cover; folded for mailing. Very good. Unlisted in Adams 1982 and in the 2001 Additions & Corrections supplement. Discovered by the present cataloguer at the 2001 ANA, and announced in the August 26, 2001 issue of The E-Sylum. Adams lists a Frossard Sale 88 dated December 19, 1888, which does indeed exist, so I have referred to the present catalogue as Adams 88*. Ex David Fanning Library; ex Cardinal Collection Library.
