Of the original printing, L de G wrote in Revue des Pyrënëes, Volume 11, 1899:
What will be appreciated above all is the considerable labor and the wisdom that [his work] has needed. It will be, in any case, a precious document to consult by all who are interested in our old Langue d'oc in its many local dialects."Translated from the French
