Manuel Complet des Sorciers by M Comte, 1829
 
'Manuel Complet des Sorciers' by M Comte was first published in 1829. The information on this page is taken from the 3rd Edition (which is undated, but probably published between 1834 and 1836). This edition is said to be 'Revue, corrigee et augmente' but I believe that in so far as the paperfolding items are concerned the original and the 3rd Edition are identical.

A full copy of the 3rd edition can be found here.
