['Ed. Bath: Hazard, 1794\r\n\r\ncontains list of subscribers (7 p.)\r\nmale: 144 (Rev. s; a bishop etc)\r\nfemale: 210\r\n\r\n{Dedication present} by the translator to Lady Catherine Tylney Long.\r\nMadam,\r\nTo rise above the pressure of adversity, and endeavour to ensure success to any future efforts I might make to assist in the support of a much-loved family, were the first motives which induced me to attempt the following Translation [...]\r\n{Money as motif}\r\n\r\nAdvertisement.\r\nTo conduce to the end for which the Original was expressly written, The instruction of childhood and youth; it was found necessary, occasionally, to alter, lengthen and transpose, several of the passages; as well to convey with more precision their exact meaning, as to avoid the tautology and circumlocution which continually occurs in the French narrative: and this it is hoped /will be admitted as a sufficient reason for the deviations from the Original, that will be found in the course of this translation.
