It would be nice it someone could scan and post the full set of the very rare Grandes études pour piano en soixante caprices caractéristiques dans le style libre et dans le style sévère, op. 63 (1855), by Jean-Amédée Le Froid de Méreaux (1802-1874). It seems that not even the Bibliothèque nationale de France has a copy of this work of which only three numbers (37, 4, 48) are currently available on IMSLP; they are taken from Isidore Philipp's Douze études de virtuosité choisies dans les oeuvres de V. Alkan, Méreaux, Kessler, Tellefsen, Willmers, Ch. Mayer et Liszt. Apparently, this volume consists of some 500 pages. Thanks in advance.

As the one who started this thread, I can only offer my warmest thanks for posting this massive set of etudes, which are quite a wonderful example of how virtuosity can be pushed to extremes (irrespective of musical value).
