Not the first but an early edition.
The name 'M. Boëly' on the cover might refer to Alexandre Pierre-François Boëly (19 April 1785 – 27 December 1858), a French composer, organist, pianist, and violist. "Boëly regarded with distaste the music that was written and feted by many of his contemporaries. The most popular standards during the Napoleonic period were compositions that swelled with patriotism or operatic intensity. Entrenching his reactionary reputation, he used his appointment as organist at Saint Germain l'Auxerrois in 1840 to promote the works of deceased composers who were then only scantily appreciated by the public. These included Frescobaldi, Couperin and, most importantly of all, the supposedly impenetrable, unplayable Bach."[wikipedia]But 'M. Boëly' might also refer to one of his four sisters, who seem to have been proficient musicians too.
