Additional Details

Second French (and best) edition. "This edition is greatly enlarged, the whole of the third volume being added. This translation was made by the author himself. . . . Boucher de la Richarderie says that the author had been so long unaccustomed to his native language that his translation abounds with Anglicisms"--Sabin 17495. Howes C883.
