Slipcase
Most bibliographies, including the seminal work of Charles Asselineau compiled while most of the Romantics were still living, state that the important Annales Romantiques anthology ended in 1836. This volume and others are sometimes mentioned as adjunct to the series, but not counted as a full part of it; moreover, they mention only the 1837 anthology. However, it appears that its publisher Janet in fact continued it under this and other altered titles until at least 1838, as this rare volume proves. It is unclear what the distinction was between the 'canon' series of 1823–36 and the anthologies of 1837-38 (or later?). It is unclear whether Charles Malo was still editing, but the publisher, format, and contributors are fully contiguous with the series, as are the design and typographic experimentation, which is pushed even farther than in previous volumes.
