Cabot Follen 17871860 the Boston-born author translator and abolitionist. She used her own translation "a free one; but sedulous care has been taken never to depart from the spirit of the author" v and one of her concerns in selection is to de-Catholicize the archbishop allowing his more universal appreciation for as she says his "writings necessarily contain many things that could not be acceptable to Christians of all denominations and have therefore been uniformly omitted" v.<br>Â Â Â Â Fénelon's appearance in Follen's selective epitome would surely have amused him and it pleased the book-buying public: This is the works third edition.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: A note states that "this book belonged to Grandmother Dyer: Ann Eliza Morse"; Charles Dyer Norton has also signed an endpaper in ink. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â American Imprints 7028.
