About This Item
Henry Petty, son of Sir William Petty, and later first Earl of Shelburne, was apparently a former pupil of Casotti, of whom we can find only scattered record. In 1711 he was advertising in The Spectator for a five-o'clock Sunday service in Italian conducted by him in the Oxenden Chapel near Haymarket. If the New Method proved successful (it clearly did not), Casotti promised here 'another Piece of my Labours' (unspecified) and 'after that a Great Dictionary in two Parts'. Neither were published.
ESTC list two copies only: BL and Christ Church Oxford.
Alston XII, Italian 36.
