1813-15. Temmixck, C. J. — Continued. 



No sooner was the work completed than Madame Knip, "the ingrate", saw lit to replace the 

 title with another in which she appeared as the author, her concoction being in the following 

 terms: "... les Pigeons par Madame Knip, nee Pauline de Courcelles, premiere peintre 

 d'histoire naturelle de S. M. I'lmperatrice et Reine. Le teste par C. J. Themminck [sic]. — Se 

 vend a Paris, chez Tauteur, Rue Serbouue. Musee des Artistes." She suppressed 40 pages of 

 text, which would have told against her, and did the same for the 16 double-column pages of 

 the Latin index. The work thus mutilated was presented to Queen Marie Louise, and secured 

 for Mad. Knip some favors hei' ambition had hmg coveted. Nevertheless, to keep Temminck 

 in the dark, the lady had the wit to send him some perfect copies, proi>erly titled. It had 

 been agreed that he was to have eight copies; these eight, he says, aud four others which 

 bear the date 1808 and have the Latin index, "sout les seuls approuves par moi" — whence it 

 appears that there are only twelve perfect aud authorized copies of the folio work extant! 

 The aggrieved author found out the artful woman's trick when he went to Paris to ijublish 

 the part of the work relating to the Oallince ; but it was too late. He could obtain no redress ; 

 the plot was backed up by royalty ; journalists refused his "r6clamations", even his reply to 

 an article which the lady published — and which, I suppose, if I could lay my hands on it, 

 would tell quite another story. Such, in brief, is Temminck's own version of the affair 

 which determined him to publish the present 8vo ed. For further particulars relating to the 

 folio work, see under that head, 1808-11.
