Vigny wishes to make corrections to a poem: ...Mr. de Vigny asks Mr. Urbain Canel to remember to send him the proofs of the poem he gave him; he has several changes to make and cannot allow it to be published and signed without having corrected it...Urbain Canel, a bookseller and publisher on Rue du Bac in Paris, is best known for his repeated bankruptcies. The best-known was also the first. It affected the very young Balzac, who had partnered with him on one of these ventures. However, Balzac did not hold a grudge against him.
