Notes
The second edition of Hugo's collection of poems attacking Napoléon III and the Second Empire, and the first edition published in France; unexpugated and enlarged with five additional poems by the author. Originally published in 1853 in an underground and a censored edition, both banned in France until the end of the Second Empire. This edition was published in 1870, just after the return of the writer from exile and the proclamation of the new Republic.
