Catalogue Note
Called (on the title) "Seconde Edition," here the second volume is called "Suite" and the third volume "Memoires" both of which parts formed the second volume in the 1728 edition. The spurious dialogue which had formed the third volume (which was entitled "Suite") has now disappeared from the edition.
