Item description from seller

Paper: 4to, 6 pp. With addendum slip of a third of a page. Text clear and complete. On aged paper and lightly-creased paper. Closely written, with several deletions. This paper held some significance for Bouthors. The 'Bulletins de la Société des antiquaires de Picardie' (1864) quotes an address by him, in which he describes that society as 'la fille de l'association des Congrès scientifiques de France. C'est à Douai qu'a été concu le projet de sa création, à la suite d'un rapport présenté aux savants réunis dans cette ville, au mois de septembre 1835, sur les Coutumes locales du bailliage d'Amiens: communication qui a valu à son auteur des encouragements et des promesses de concours qui n'ont pas tardé a porter leurs fruits.' Pinned to the next item. Letter: 4to, 1 p. Eighteen lines of text. Clear and complete on aged laid paper, with wear and short closed tears to edges. Addressed 'A Monsieur Arthur Dinaux vice président de la Société des Sciences et arts à Valenciennes (nord)'. He is sending the paper for publication with a few additions, which can be omitted if Dinaux pleases. Makes further requests regarding the publication of the paper.…
