FENELON (Francois de Salignac de la Mothe):

The Adventures of Telemachus, The Son of Ulysses. In French and English. The Original carefully printed according to the best Editions of France and Holland, And the Translation, which is entirely new, revised by Mr Des Maizeaux.

London: Printed or John Gray..., 1742. 2 volumes. 12mo, pp. leaves numbered rather than pages, so [iv], xxxii [sic, but actually lxiii, lxxiv blank], 216 [217 blank, but 432, 433 text, 434 blank]; [iv], 207 [414, 415 text, 416 blank], parallel translations with French on verso facing English on recto, 6 engraved plates in volume 2, contemporary calf; lacks map in volume 1 and there are no plates in volume 1, joints cracked, spines worn, top and base of spine chipped. This is different translation from that by Ozell, first published in 1715, or that by Littlebury and Boyer 1699 - 1700. The translation is prefaced by Andrew Michael Ramsay's discourse on epic poetry, also in French and English, with this note, "This discourse has been revised, alter'd and improved in many places, according to corrected communicated by Mr. Ramsay, who is the author of it." The earliest English printing of Ramsay's discourse on epic poetry, first published in French in 1717, that I have found is that in the 1719 edition of Littlebury and Boyer's translation. Ramsay died in 1743, so the editor's claim is plausible: Des Maizeaux died in 1745. ESTC T176637 calls for a map and "plates"; there seems to have been a map before the title-page in volume 1, as indicated by a fragment of a stub. Two copies located: L; NIC.

The Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses

Paris, Bobée et Hingray, 1830. Cloth. This scarce copy of François Fénelon's didactic and political novel is printed in both French and English. Printed in both French and English, this scarce copy of Les aventures de Télémaque, fils d'Ulysse, or The Adventures of Telemachus, son of Ulysses, fills the gaps in Homer's Odyssey to tell the story of his son's education. Published anonymously in 1699 and later reissued in 1717, François Fénelon imagines the educational journey of Telemachus and Mentor, his aptly named tutor. In 1689, Fénelon himself was appointed to tutor the grandson of Louis XIV and wrote several important works to guide the young Duke, who was second in line to the French throne. Filled with teachings about altruism, alongside denunciations of war, luxury, and selfishness, the novel also contains political subcurrents in which Fénelon attacks the divine right to absolute monarchy. With French and English printed on opposing pages, this copy is great for language learners. Bookplate of 'A.C. Woodhouse' to the front paste down of both volumes, with the Woodhouse family motto 'in hoc signo', meaning 'in this sign thou shalt conquer&apos. Rebound in half calf binding over patterned boards. Lightly rubbed to the boards, with some minor wear to the extremities. A little rubbed to the spine, more so to the head and the tail. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are foxed throughout volume I, and to the first half of volume II, after which the foxing becomes lighter. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
