This is the volume thus referred to by Dickens in a letter to Forster (Life, vol. ii, p. 368): 'I have been reading a capital little story by Edmond About--The Notary's Nose. I have been trying other books; but so infernally conversational, that I forget who the people are before they have done talking.'
