Footnote
Note: First edition of the complete work. In this copy volume 1, printed at Proust's own expense, is dated "1913" on the upper wrapper and "1914" on the title-page, but is without the final "e/t" of Grasset's name in the imprint, and with the colophon on the verso of the table, rather than p.523 verso.
