1796 Pompey the Little DOGS 2in1 Theodosius & Constantia Langhorne & Coventry



A curious pairing of two works – ‘The Correspondence of Theodosius and Constantia’ and ‘History of Pompey the Little’.



John Langhorne’s edition of ‘Theodosius and Constantia’ is an historical account of letters written between Roman Emperor Theodosius and Cosntantia.



‘History of Pompey the Little’ is an interesting novel by Francis Coventry first written in 1751. This work is one of the first canine-centric novels, focusing on the life of a lap-dog. This work follows Pompey and his fortunes through a satirical view of London and English society.
