The Essays of Michael De Montaigne - Translated Into English, With Very Considerable Amendments and Improvements #271521

This new edition will, it is presumed, be received by the public, with the more favour, not only be cause the editor had those helps ao~ necessary for explaining the author's true meaning, but because it is translated from that accurate French edition of these Essays in 1724, by peter Cosrs, who formerly translated many of Mr. Locxa's excellent tracts with applause, into the French language, and was therefore encouraged in executing the said edition of montaignh's Essays, by the subscription of many of our chief nobility and gentry.
