Description

Heading:
Author: Plinius Caecilius Scundus [Pliny the Younger]
Title: The Letters of Pliny the Younger With Observations on each Letter; And an Essay on Pliny's Life, Addressed to Charles Lord Boyle By John Earl of Orrery
Place Published: London
Publisher:Printed by James Bettenham for Paul Vaillant
Date Published: 1751
Description:

2 volumes. [iv], lxxxvii, 440, [16]; [iv], 509, [32] pp. Engraved allegorical title-page device by Michael Van der Gucht, twenty-three large head & tailpieces engraved by Jacob Bonneau after designs by Samuel Wale, and numerous decorative initials. (4to) 25x19.5 cm (9¾x7¾"), period full sheep, raised bands.

First edition of this translation of the classic letters first issued between c.100 and c.109. The letters, which survey the whole range of Roman life and society (including the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the death of Pliny the elder, as well as problems with the upstart Christians), are fascinating; and Boyle's comments are complacently entertaining.

John Boyle, fifth Earl of Cork, fifth Earl of Orrery, and second Baron Marston (1707-1762) had literary aspirations and became a friend of Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, and Samuel Johnson. But they had no illusions about his intellectual gifts; and Boyle took some revenge on Swift's condescension in Remarks on the Life and Writings of Jonathan Swift (London, 1751). His translation and commentary on the wonderful letters of Pliny the Younger appeared five years after the first translation into English, done by William Melmoth, and were not an improvement. The translator's very long introduction describes not only the life of Pliny but many aspects of Roman history, government, laws, and ways of life, including detailed accounts of the baths and gymnasia.

Condition

Boards loose but still attached and quite rubbed; light toning; very good.
