Dealer Notes
SECOND EDITION; from its first English appearance in 1665 of The Comic Romance and other novellas, a new and highly popular genera of English fiction was created. This present translation by Brown and others displaced the earlier one of John Davies, and first appeared in 1700 with the letters now included. Good complete copies of the early editions are scarce.
