FIRST EDITION of volume 2. 2 volumes. 8vo, pp. x, 420, viii [Index], engraved frontispiece (dated Feb. 23, 1792) by Baker after Singleton; [iv], iv, viii, 316, contemporary tree calf, gilt rules across spine, black leather labels; spines a little dried, but a very good set. Zimmerman's Ueber Einsamkeit (1756) was first translated into English from the very selective text of French edition in 1791 and frequently reprinted. The translator of the second volume seems to have worked directly from Zimmerman's German. He notes that Mercier translated only four of Zimmerman's twelve chapters: "Zimmerman was thus exhibited, not only as the blind zealot and romantic panegyrist of Solitude, but was also rendered, as far as his writings have any efficacy, the seducer of mankind into a mode of life, which the amiable writer devoted the greater part of his work to prove, was in certain case highly injurious to their morals and happiness." The new material in this volume, the translator asserts, will enable the reading public to correct any mis-percepetions they might have made of Zimmerman's ideas. ESTC on-line locates the BL copy of the 8th edition (first volume) and five British and three American copies of volume 2.
