Candide, ou, L'optimisme, traduit de l'Allemand de Mr. le Docteur Ralph : manuscript copy, 1771 [or later].

Manuscript copy in an unknown hand of Voltaire's Candide; evidently a copy of a published volume, with manuscript title page, date, running titles, and signatures (i.e.: a-m¹²n¹⁰) transcribed from a printed copy of the work. Date in Roman numerals on t.p. reads "M. DCC. LXXI.". Text paginated [1]-308, followed by 14 unsigned and crudely executed full-page pen-and ink drawings at end of volume, chiefly depicting landscapes with castles, trees, and figures.
