About this Item

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 12mo, 163 x 98 mms., pp. [iv], 210 [211 - 212 adverts], contemporary sheepskin (very worn); lacks end-papers, edge of title-page chipped, lower corners of first few leaves chewed, lower corners of last three leaves also chewed, with slight loss of text. Not the most wonderful copy, but uncommon. Jean-Baptiste Perrin (fl. 1767 - 1798) was born in France and later emigrated to Dublin. He began publishing books about learning French, and his earliest work seems to have been Essai sur l'origine et l'antiquité des langues, which was published anonymously in 1767. His Entertaining and Instructive Exercises, alluded to in the title, was first published in the early 1770s, and at least another ten editions appeared during the 18th century. ESTC N2408 locates only the copy at Princeton.
