Description:
INTERLEAVED AND LINGUISTICALLY COMPLEX --- [24], 276 p. | 12mo | a^12 A-L^12 M^6 | 135 x 81 mm --- An early edition of the French Jesuit's bilingual guide to learning Latin vocabulary, which first appeared at Lyon in 1667, also as a bilingual Latin-French work. It went through dozens of editions, in multiple language combinations, through the middle of the 18th century. ¶ In his preface, Pomey opines that the most difficult obstacle to learning Latin is "ignorance of certain words and terms, which usually fall into colloquial speech [discours familier]. These are the names of nearly all the things that we see and touch every hour and every moment" (a4r). Pomey here aims to help the French student learn these words, providing terms in French with their Latin equivalents. He organizes everything not alphabetically, but conceptually, dividing the entirety into three broad categories: the world and its creation, humans and their attributes, and cities and their parts, this final section…

Description:
2 v. | v.1: [2], xvj, 370 p. | v. 2: [2], 360 [i.e. 400] p. | 12mo | v.1: pi1 a8(-a8) e1 A-P12 Q6(-Q6) | v.2: pi1 A6 B-R12 S2 | 174 x 103 mm ¶ First edition, followed by a second in 1784. Howes identified the present work's account of "the infant colony of Georgia" as particularly valuable. Prévost describes Savannah, for example, as a settlement of nearly 140 homes. He makes some mention of the area's native tribes, identifying Coweta as the principal settlement of the Creek (v. 2, p. 185). ¶ Prévost's observations are all the more remarkable for his never having visited North America. Not translated from the English, but rather the author's own invention, the work capitalized on the popularity of both fictional and authentic travel narratives of the time. Perhaps the chief interest of the work lies in the fact that it convinced some contemporary readers of its professed veracity, not unlike Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels. The Mercure de France reported in November 1744:…
