Contient la préface de Pierre Leroux ("De la fable", 208 pages) en édition originale. Dans cet essai composé sous forme de dialogues, jamais réédité et demeuré inconnu au XXe siècle, P.

Socialiste convaincu, il fut d’abord fervent disciple du saint-simonisme, il devint également le poète attiré d'un groupe d'ouvriers fouriéristes. (Vicaire, IV, 791. Evans, p. 250).
