| Item Description: | The titlepages to volumes 2-4 omit the words: "To which is annexed, ... Henry the Great." A very free adaptation by Pierre Mathurin de L'Ecluse des Loges. The translation is often attributed to Charlotte Lennox or Samuel Johnson. Volume 5 includes an index to all volumes. A piracy? Verify whether this edition has the dedication signed Charlotte Lennox (from ESTC). The Cushing Library/Rare Books Collection copy was acquired as part of the Lois Goddard Morrison Collection of Eighteenth Century Literature. |
