INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION THE short discourse of which we here offer to our readers a translation, has never received a great degree of publicity. Delivered in Latin, be- fore a grave meeting of learned doftors, it was designed, un- doubtedly, for none but the friendly ears of the venerable assembly to which it was ad- dressed. A learned printer, — of a class sufficiently numerous in times past, and of which we are fain to believe, without, how- ever, venturing to affirm, there may even yet be ...found a few, rari nantes, — a printer to the King, Monsieur Pierres, divined 26 Introduction the merit of the traft, and was unwilling that so elegant a com- position should be w T holly con- demned to forgetfulness : and in this he manifested both good taste and discernment. He there- fore obtained the author's per- mission to print a few copies of it, solely for the use of those who were friendly to bibliogra- phical studies. The number of these privileged amateurs was quite limited, and we are nearly certain that there are hardly more than twenty-five copies existing of this original edition of the Discours de VAbb'e Cotton des Honssayes.
