Third edition. Brochure, in 12mo, 70 pages, followed by an unpaginated table. Printed, preserved gray-green cover, bearing on the second cover a “Prière dictated to Restaux by the Apparition on 25 March 1880.” An apologetic account of the apparitions and prophecies attributed to the seer Théophile Restaux at Gouy-l’Hôpital, in the Somme. The work describes the locations, the initial manifestations, the novena, and the subsequent apparitions.
