A Candidate. “Who do you want?... An upright, conscientious, sober man, an industrialist, a man who doesn't need the government to enrich himself, a man familiar with the law, who knows it well, through practice, very long practice... a long practice of law... you can't choose any better than... my honorable friend,” plate 48 from Caricaturana

“- Sir, I would like to subscribe for the earth quake at Batignolles..... here are two Francs.... but put in properly my name and address in your newspaper, Rigolard - Philanthropist, stationer at rue St. Honoré 345, offering clocks and statues by Dantan, Bohemian glass, English riding sticks, German chemical matches and generally everything that does not really concern this matter,” plate 6 from Les Philantropes Du Jour

“- Sir, you who are so good, can't you get me small position?.... I am able to furnish you the best references on my honesty.... - You have always remained honest?... But in that case, my worthy man, why the devil have you come to me? You ought to know that I concentrate all my business and all my charities on this highly interesting class of freed convicts! Why don't you go and steal something or at least kill a bit... and once you are out of Toulon-prison, come and see me... I'll be delighted to offer you a helping hand!,” plate 19 from Les Philantropes Du Jour

A Man Saved Against His Will. “- But I am telling you that I know how to swim and I could have pulled myself out of the water without the help of this gentleman! - That makes no difference.... the law is quite clear... you must pay 25 Francs to your rescuer.... for example, if you had been dead, you would only have had to pay him 15 Francs,” plate 7 from Les Canotiers Parisiens
