General physical description note: This collection includes 42 volumes bound together between 1814-1819 in contemporary calf-backed boards. In addition, each volume includes a handwritten index written by the owner. On the end papers of each volume the binding date is inscribed by the owner, who also included accurate information on each play when the printer has left it out, or when title pages are missing.

These plays range from as early as the 1780s through the early 19th century, though the majority date from the period of the French Revolution. Most are comedies, though there are other genres included. The comedies are frequently subtitled parodie, comedy-parodie, opera-comique, comedie episodique, comedie parade, divertissment, melodrame, pastoral, and others. Many of the plays show popular tastes and feelings of the French during and after the Revolution. Many of the plays were published in the provinces, including Avignon, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Amsterdam, and others. The catalog record for this collection can be found here, in the UCLA Library Catalog . Provenance A French owner assembled the plays between 1812-1820 and has written the date when each of the 42 volumes was bound on the flyleaf. Many of the volumes contain a red armorial bookstamp with a monogram cipher (possibly the initials "L.F.S"), and volume 31 contain the name "Delmas David Cadet" inscribed several times.
