Monsieur Bergeret was in his study chatting with his pupil, Monsieur Goubin.
"I found to-day," he said, "in a friend's library, a little book which is extremely rare and perhaps unique. Whether he is ignorant of its existence, or thinks it of little value, Brunet does not mention it in his Manual. It is a little duodecimo entitled: _Les charactères et pourtraictures tracés d'après les modelles anticques_. It was printed in the year 1538 in the learned Rue Saint-Jacques."
