Description
"The following pages may be considered rather as a collection of the beauties of M. Berquin, than as a literally abridged translation..."--preface.
"... it seems probable that 'the Reverend Mr. Cooper' may have been a pseudonym of the hack writer Richard Johnson... Since the Reverend Mr. Cooper is known under various initials and Christian names--J., W., W.D., S., Samuel, and Charles--it has been assumed that the name is fictitious."--Osborne Coll., p. 162-163.
