Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The French Anas, Vol. 1 of 3
Cals to his mind the Richardsoniana and J ohnsoniana; and is told that the Table Tallg'of' Selden is entitled, by men of letters abroad, Seldeniana. It might be expected that the general character of these Anas, as well as a description of them, should form a part of this preface. The Editor is happy to be able to comply with so reasonable a request, by quoting an eminent critic, who seems, by the treatise from whence this extract is taken, to have examined the merits of and objections to compilations of this kind, with all the candour, dili gence, and sagacity, which the sub jcet requires. Sint itaque in iis facetiae et sales liberiores; sint judicia nonnunquam sinistra et iniqua; sint quaedam magnis viris supposita; sint erronea queedam et falsa; sint non nulla, quae forte in quorundam gratiam taceri praestabat: et quotusquisque.
