Un million de jeux et de plaisirs, 1880
 
'Un million de jeux et de plaisirs' by T de Moulidars (a pseudonym of Jules Trousset 1842-1905) was published by La Libraire Contemporaine in Paris in 1880 and subsequently republished by La Librairie Illustree in Paris in 1888 under the title 'Grande encyclopédie méthodique, universelle, illustrée, des jeux et des divertissements de l'esprit et du corps'.

I have not seen a copy of the original work. This page is based on the 'Grande encyclopedie' but, as far as I know, the paperfolding material in both books is identical.

A full copy of the 'Grande encyclopedie' can be accessed online here.

The 'Grande encyclopedie' is mentioned in Gershon Legman's 'Bibliography of Paperfolding' which was published in 1952.
