About this book

Second of two volumes in 8vo. pp. [1], lviii-lix, [1] (blank), 279, [1] (blank). Morocco janséniste by Bradstreet. Bookplates of Richard Philip Hart Durkee. Extra-illustrated with portraits and plates. This surprisingly scarce two-volume verse translation of Voltaire’s racy mock-epic La pucelle by the former Shakespeare forger William Henry Ireland (1775-1835) remains, in its 1899 adaptation by Ernest Dowson, the best-known version in English.
