Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for Tho. Astley..., 1736. 12mo (in 6s), 162 x 96 mms., pp. viii, 231 [232 - 236 adverts], contemporary calf (worn); all leaves before title-page missing, front paste-down end-paper defective, no free rear end-paper, front cover holding by one cord, rear joint cracked, top and base of spine chipped; with the later autograph "Alex Mitchell" on the top margin of the title-page, John Lockman (1698–1771) was a prolific author and translator. He published a number of works in this popular "question and answer" form, and this work was still being reprinted as late as 1811. The Gentleman's Magazine said of Lockman that he translated "with general accuracy, more books for half a century together than any man of his time." He was also an accomplished musician and composer, with oratorios and musical dramas to his credit. This is a reprinting, reimposed, of the English text of a bilingual edition printed by William Bowyer for Vaillant and Astley (T89730); his records show 3000 copies of this printing divided equally between the two booksellers. Maslen & Lancaster. Bowyer ledgers, 2191. ESTC T155111 locates copies in BL, Bodleian; Library Company of Philadelphia, University of Chicago.
