About This Item

A Paris, Chez Le Tellier..., 1788. FIRST FRENCH TRANSLATION. 2 parts in 1. 12mo, pp. xvi, 172; [4], 224 [225 - 226 contents, 227 - 228 Approbation], contemporary French tree sheepskin; gilt spine missing about half its leather, joints cracked and tender. Hayley's Philosophical, Historical, and Moral Essay on Old Maids was first published in three volumes in 1785. This is translation of volume 1, and of chapter 1 of volume 2, only. The translator argues in his introduction that a translation of all three volumes would be much too long for most readers. The only copies I could locate in U. S. libraries were those of Harvard and UCLA.
