Dealer Notes
This work, one of the earliest comparative studies of English and French customs and usage, was first published in 1725 and some authorities (e.g. Conlon) identify this one printed in Cologne as the first. However, it seems to us that the edition of 543 pages printed ‘without place’ (either Zurich or Geneva?) is a more likely candidate. They were followed, in 1726, by a second edition, enlarged to 3 parts totalling over 650 pages.
