After retiring from his public duties in 1782 he concentrated on both book collecting and literary pursuits. He who wrote primarily for his own enjoyment and issued his works in very limited editions. The present work contains fables and short stories on animals humans and emotions many of which are adapted or translated from the writings of John Gay 1685-1732 who Mérard calls "the British La Fontaine" in the introduction.The imprint is almost certainly fictitious as several fables bear dates as late as 1794 while the epilogue is dated 1795 in the table of contents. The work was most likely printed in Paris in of after 1795 though a connection with Giambattista Bodoni cannot be entirely ruled out. Copies dated 1787 and 1799 are also known but it remains unclear whether these are different editions or merely issues with different title pages.With the stamp of the bookbinder on the verso of the first free flyleaf of the first volume.
