Description

First edition in English.


Formerly attributed to Antoine Arnauld; now attributed to Françoise Lamy. Cf. Halkett & Laing (3rd ed.).


Also attributed to Fabio Brulart.


The original work, issued anonymously in 1676, bore the title "De l'art de parler". The third and subsequent editions (from 1688) were entitled "La rhétorique"[etc.].


Many errors in pagination.


L3-4 signed R3-4, and following gatherings signed S to Ll, etc., in error. Sig Ll is followed by a gathering of 4 leaves signed M (conclusion of "Table", 2 pp.; booklist of M. Pitt, 6 pp.). M2 is signed M in error.


Indexed in: Wing A3720 (but not "for Moses Pitt"). Attributed by this authority to Antoine Arnauld, joint author with P. Nicole of the work, "La logique, ou l'art de penser", alluded to on the title-page.
