Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for W. Owen..., W. Johnston..., and J. Payne..., 1752. 12mo (in 6s), pp. [xviii], vi, 251 [252 - 253, adverts, 254 blank], engraved vignette on title-page, contemporary calf; joints cracked, spine rubbed and dried. With the contemporary autograph and date "Robt. Twyford/ 1753" on the recto of the front paste-down end-paper, the Jolliffe armorial bookplate on the front paste-down end-paper, and "Barbara und Johann/ March 27th 1940 - Bath" above the bookplate. Robert Twyford is possibly the young man who was infatuated with Mary Delaney (née Granville) in 1717. This translation was first published in 1749 and was frequently reprinted. Toussaint (1715 - 1772) published Les Moeurs originally in 1748; he was prosecuted immediately, and the book was burnt. He later disavowed the work, though parts of it were used in the Encyclopédie.
