MOORE J.
Zelucco [sic], the Sicilian Hypocrite; to which is introduced, the real Character of Laura, the grateful German. From the Works of Dr. Moore. SCARCE [PIRATE?] VARIANT
12mo., First Edition thus, with an engraved title-vignette, some light age-soiling; later boards, calf back lettered in gilt, a very good, firm copy. With 1p. publisher's advertisement at end. Scarce variant of the popular novel and moral tale by John Moore, physician, writer and biographer of Smollett, his friend and patient. The hero is a Sicilian, brought up without restraint, who begins by squeezing a pet sparrow to death and who, after a selfish career, dies of a wound received in a duel. 'Tracing the windings of vice and delineating the disgusting features of villainy are unpleasant tasks, and some people cannot bear to contemplate such a picture. It is fair, therefore, to warn readers of this turn of mind not to pursue the story of Zeluco' (DNB). The work was first published in 1786; CBEL gives at least seven editions by 1800. This variant, with the alternative spelling of the title, appears to be scarce; we have been unable to trace any institutional copy (including BL, Bodleian, CUL, NLC, NLS, Trinity Dublin and others). It may well be an unrecorded pirate. See CBEL II, p.549; DNB.

NAI-TUNG TING.
A type index of Chinese folktales: In the oral tradition and major works of non-religious classical literature (FF Communications No. 223).
Fine English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English and list of characters in Chinese. 294 p. A type index of Chinese folktales: In the oral tradition and major works of non-religious classical literature (FF Communications No. 223). Nai-Tung Ting's work on the Chinese folktale provides an interesting example in this regard. At a cursory investigation, the work appears to have been done impeccably. It is bearing testimony to the high level of scholarly asceticism that has characterized so many of those who have fallen under the shadow of the Finnish Academy. The indexing system is efficiently laid out and easy to use. It lends itself readily to eventual computerization and will undoubtedly save all the research headaches and frustrations it has been arranged to. For this it merits the highest praise, as also for the actual amount of material that the author has gathered up and sifted through for us. The bibliography runs to well over 700 entries, many of them sizable volumes or collections running to several volumes. It is composed almost entirely of twentieth century editions up until 1973. Given the breadth and depth of the nation with the world's largest population, and probably also the largest active folk tradition, we have reason to be grateful for efforts such as this. (In a nice flourish of conscientious apologetics, the author even informs us that one particular source had to be skimmed through quickly because the poor quality of the copy hurt his eyes!)
