About This Item
A Paris, Chez M. Lambert & F. J. Baudouin..., 1782. 8vo, pp. [i - v], vi -clxxv [cllxxvi Table], [3], 4- 575 [576 note], contemporary calf, spine ornately gilt in compartments, olive morocco label; title-page slightly soiled and creased, some slight wear to spine, but generally a very good and attractive copy. Jean Dusaulx (1728 - 1799) published this in 1770, but he is perhaps better known for a book on gambling, De la Passion de Jeu (1779). Thomas Carlyle claimed that Dusaulx never tired of introducing himself as "The [sic] Translator of Juvenal."
