Note

A translation of two works by René Rapin: "Reflexions sur l'usage de l'eloquence de ce temps" and "La comparaison de Démosthne et de Cicéron".

Part 1, "Reflections upon the use of the eloquence of these times", and part 2, "A comparison between the eloquence of Demosthenes and Cicero" each have separate dated title page, pagination, and register.

The third preliminary leaf and the last leaf are blank.

A reissue of Wing R275A (Madan 2942) and R259 (Madan 2943) with an added general title page.

Uncontrolled note

Verify whether both of the two Oxford editions of the "Reflections upon the use of the Eloquence of these times" (Madan 2941 and 2942) appear with this general t.p. Madan seems to indicate that his 2941 (Wing R275) is the edition of choice. However, CSmH copy (copy catalogued and DFo have his 2942 (Wing R275A). Do all copies have R275A or do some have R275?
