Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans..., 1841. Tall 8vo, 219 x 136 mms., pp. ix [x blank, xi Contents, xii blank], 210, [2], 32 [adverts], including half-title, contemporary embossed cloth, inscribed on recto of front free end-paper, "William French/ from his affectionate/ Brother Robert/ August 1858," and in pencil on half-title, "R B French/ from his affect. Father." Robert French was the grandson of the landowner and politician Robert French (1716 - 1779), and his brother was, I think, the college head and schoolmaster William French (1786 - 1849). Hoare (1789 - 1849) published this in 1835, and it was followed by a second edition in 1837. Hoare made revisions to the text for the second edition, but this third edition seems to be a straightforward reprint of the second, though more leaves of adverts at the end. The first edition was reviewed at length in The Quarterly Review (1840), with the reviewer amusingly beginning, "In this age of socialism, chartism, teetotalism, et omne quod exit in ism, when abstinence, not temperance, is preached by the apostles of order and disorder, agitation and peace, it may seem rather venturous [sic] to offer a few words in favour of the little volume before us."
