Hello all. Longtime lurker and first-time poster (I think). Just wanted to share some NYW finds on Google Books. I stumbled across a few French texts that may be of interest. All look like 18th-19th century publications. I don't read French, but can manage well enough with a little electronic help. The following link will point to one book and other suggestions should show at the bottom of the page.
