Sobre este artículo
London: Prnted for C. G. Seyffert n Pall-mall. 1760. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Small 8vo, pp. [viii], 168, contemporary calf, recently rebacked, raised bands between gilt rules, red leather label; lacks half-title and last leaf of Contents, pp. 1 -2 repaired, first three leaves of text dampstained, but clean after that. Mentions or discussions of this work appear in scholarly books on eighteenth-century erotica, e. .g, Karen Harvey: Sex and Gender in the Eighteenth Century (2004), but it is really a fairy story with occasional snatches of possible flagellation or other such popular activities for the 18th century gallant. It was mentioned or reviewed in at least three periodicals, The Monthly Review for 1760 (which suggested the original was in French). The Critical Review confirmed the French origin: "This is a wretched translation of a silly attempt to humour in the French, with scarce any other addition than that of the title-page." Sir Walter Scott had a copy in his library at Abbotsford. ESTC T77689 locates copies in BL (2), NLS (Advocates); McMaster, Wisconsin-Madison, UCLA, and Penn.
