I had heard of this book by Biarnez for years and once seen a (very expensive) fac-simile edition.

So, I was delighted to find that Google, for some weird and wonderful reason, has put the thing online!

The scanning is far from perfect, and there are regular 2-3 page gaps.
Also, be sure to start one third of the way down on page 1, i.e., skip the rather grandiloquent introduction.

Still, reading this book published in 1849 is a delight! The author has some pretty strong opinions, and some of his verses are wonderful!

Best regards,
