Our present translator has executed his task with accuracy and fidelity; but to translate Rousseau is a labour of difficulty, it is bending the bow of Ulysses, which few weaker hands can perform." (The Critical Review or Annals of Literature, 1756-1763, p. 360), Lowndes IV, 1585. A heavy set, please be advised added shipping charges will be requested for international orders. .
