Manière de découvrir les qualités d'une personne par le tirage des cartes and Scrutateur
Description:
A fortune-telling game to determine what a person is like by drawing from a deck of cards and then consulting charts printed in the book., Stamp: J.O. Wedberg. Blind stamp: [illegible] Bibliotheket, Stockholm., and There are eight pages of charts for different types of people (that is, children, young adults, young men, young women, husbands, wives, widowers, and widows). Each chart is divided into five columns.The first column lists personal or physical characteristics, and the following four columns correspond to the four suits of the cards (in order: heart, club, diamond, spade). Under each of those columns are descriptive adjectives. On pages following the charts are seven lists of questions, with from 10 to 40 answers each, to be asked of the players, to further reveal their characters and predict their future. One player is designated to be the "scrutateur" --the scrutinizer-- who will begin the game by choosing a characteristic to be revealed and then a person to draw a card and compare it to the chart of his or her type.

Letters to Siefert's mother also describe the dinners Siefert attends; visits with acquaintances, including Victor Hugo, Charles Blanc, and Paul Chenevard; and operas she sees. Other correspondents in the collection include Siefert's friends such as Charles Asselineau, Chenevard, and Emmanuel des Essarts; admirers of her poetry; the Journal de Lyon concerning her publications; and family members to each other after her death. Also in the collection are Siefert's wedding announcement and death notice; several accounts and receipts; and a manuscript, with numerous corrections, of Adele-Adrienne Siefert's memoirs of her daughter. and Series II contains eight volumes of poetry, primarily in Siefert's hand.

Other volumes include a set of notes taken during a course on French poetry taught by Charles Asselineau, and four collections of original poetry dated between 1865 and 1872, which include many sentimental or dedicatory poems to friends and family members. The original poems are annotated with the dates of their composition, and occasionally with publication information; and laid in a volume titled Poems d'amour are two pages of comments on the poems in Asselineau's hand. Also included in the collection is a volume of reviews of Siefert's works, copied in her hand.
