General notes

Printers' names from Wing CD In two parts, each with separate dated title page, pagination, and register. Part 1, with title mirroring title on first 9 lines of general title page, is a translation of René Rapin's "Le comparaison de Platon et d'Aristote" with an imprint identical to that on the general title page. Part 2, "Judgment on Alexander and Caesar; and also on Seneca, Plutarch, and Petronius" is by Saint-Evremond, has imprint, "London, printed by A. Maxwell, for Jonathan Edwin at the sign of the three Roses in Ludgate-street, 1672". This work is translated by John Dancer, who signs the dedication; French original not traced Leaves P4 and ²E8 are blank; leaf ²A1 bears a license to print on verso Each part was also issued separately. Since the short title of Rapin's work when issued separately and the short title of the general title page are identical, both issues are assigned the same Wing number, R260. Part 2 as a separate issue is assigned Wing S303A
