About This Item

Amsterdam, Chez Pierre Mortier, 1745. FIRST FRENCH TRANSLATION. 12mo, 168 x 100 mms., pp. xxiv, 343 [344 blank], including half-title, recent quarter sheepskin, red morocco label, old marbled boards. A goodish copy. "Jessop noted that the catalogue of the Surgeon-Geneeral's Library, Washington, attributes the translation to D. R. Bouiller. The translator suppressed Berkelery title, Siris, etc., explaining in his preface that he thought it misleading and too obscure for the generality of his readers. He stated that he used as the source of his text the 'third edition', that is presumably, the second Dublin edition; he had also profited by manuscript corrections and additions, which the author had supplied" (Keynes). Jessop 184. Keynes 73. The translation was reviewed in Acta Eruditorum (Leipzig, 1746).
