Marginal stain on p. 19. A collection of bons mots satires and anecdotes Les Étrennes de la St Jean is a collective work assembled around the comte de Caylus in the salon of mademoiselle Quinault. The members of the group Moncrif Voisenon Crébillon fils. called themselves the Société du Bout-du-Banc and composed in the wake of copious and convivial dinners several miscellanies: Les Étrennes de la Saint-Jean one of the best known and most celebrated Les Écosseuses ou les ufs de Pâques Histoire de Guillaume Quelques Aventures curieuses et galantes des bals de bois Recueil de ces Messieurs etc. ""As a young man the comte de Caylus had paid considerable tribute to the literature of fairy tales which the translations from the Arabic and Persian by Galland and Pétis de la Croix had brought into fashion; his true self is not to be found in these artificial creations to which he returned when nearly seventy. But in the intervening years his personality as a writer emerged and declared itself in accordance with his manners and tastes and in how favourable a setting! The Société du Bout-du-Banc that academy of Gallic ribaldry presided over by Mlle Quinault; those suppers at which an inkwell served as centrepiece and which La Chaussée d'Armenonville Voisenon Moncrif the Grand Prior of Vendôme Duclos Salley and Crébillon fils inflamed with their bawdy and bantering wit. All men of letters with little taste for philosophy all content to let the world go its own way and finding it well enough as it was all of that sacred flock of Epicurus somewhat metamorphosed by Circe where each is satisfied or nearly so with what their presiding lady said was sufficient for Duclos the least fastidious among them. The popular literature of the eighteenth century that is the literature which took the common people as the subject of its observations and tableaux was born in this company of ribaldry and folly and the comte de Caylus was its natural father and its foster father; it took its first lively flights in these Écosseuses 1739 in these ""Étrennes de la Saint-Jean"" 1742 in these ""Mémoires de l'Académie des colporteurs"" in these ""Aventures des bals des Bois"" in these ""Fêtes roulantes"" 1748 a veritable magic lantern of Parisian popular life ."" Avertissement ""Mémoires et réflexions du comte de Caylus"" 1874 Second edition partly original of a collection in the poissard vein marked by its lightness of tone and naive style born of the fashionable suppers of the Société du Bout-du-Banc where several of the finest minds of the eighteenth century gathered among them Montesquieu and d'Alembert.
