[206] The passages relating to income during his first residence in Paris (1744-1756) are at pp. 119, 145, 153, 165, 200, 227, in Books vii.-ix. of the Confessions.  Rousseau told Bernardin de St. Pierre (Oeuv., xii. 74) that Emile was sold for 7000 livres.  In the Confessions (xi. 126), he says 6000 livres, and one or two hundred copies.  It may be worth while to add that Diderot and D’Alembert received 1200 livres a year apiece for editing the Encyclopaedia.  Sterne received L650 for two volumes of Tristram Shandy in 1780.  Walpole’s Letters, in. 298.
