Of this 2nd English Edition Tobias Smollett said; "We found the first translation so faulty, that it is with pleasure we see the work again undertaken by some more competent author. Our present translator has executed his task with accuracy and fidelity; but to translate Rousseau is a labour of difficulty, it is bending the bow of Ulysses, which few weaker hands can perform." (The Critical Review or Annals of Literature, 1756-1763, p. 360), Lowndes IV, 1585. A heavy set, please be advised added shipping charges will be requested for international orders. .
