Cohen/ De Ricci p.954; Cioranescu 13529; Gay/ Lemonnyer II, p.546; Barbier II, p.764; Weller II, p.101 (all on this edition). Written in the form of 8 letters, the author (1715-1791) uses the role of the rat through all ages, in legend, literature, sciences etc. as a vehicle for his satire on his contemporaries.
