Magnin also wrote poetry and plays.

His principal works are:

  • Origines du théâtre moderne (1838)
  • Causeries et méditations (2 vols., 1843)

  • Histoire des marionettes (1852).

Notes
    gollark: It doesn't wipe.
    gollark: Fewer eggs about maybe? Hard to say.
    gollark: Using my patented ***ALGORITHM*** of basic statistics and wild guessing™.
    gollark: That's basically what I said (the extra volume of halloween stuff mucks up the ratios).
    gollark: Any opinions on my theory of what's going on with the pricing? Basically, I said that if extra dragons are introduced to the total but not the rest of the system (golds, whatever else), then rarer stuff's ratios will be affected more than common stuff, so the gold pricing goes crazy and nebulae stay the same.
