telling him that he hasn't got the revised typescript with the properly collated Boisgobey's and Gaboriau's, so I'm not sure how many first Vizetelly editions we have, but this is the list of titles and if you have any titles apart from these I would like to have them whatever the edition... there follows a list of titles by the two authors with an autograph addition at the end of the list and he then says he is sorry I've missed out a Gaboriau Catastrophe 1890.

Background
Henry Richard Vizetelly (1820-1894) was a British publisher and writer. He started the publications Pictorial Times and Illustrated Times, wrote several books while working in Paris and Berlin as correspondent for the Illustrated London News, and between 1880 and 1890, ran a publishing house in London, Vizetelly & Company. Fortuné Hippolyte Auguste Abraham-Dubois (1821-1891), under the nom de plume Fortuné du Boisgobey, was a French novelist. Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873) was a French writer, novelist, journalist, and a pioneer of detective fiction. Du Boisgobey was the chief of the followers of Émile Gaboriau, with whom his name is generally associated. He even wrote a sequel, La Vieillesse de M. Lecoq, using Gaboriau's character Monsieur Lecoq in 1877–78.
