Second edition in English significantly revised updated and translation improved from the first edition in English which had been largely taken from the 7th French edition of this important work which delivered a biting and often satriical critique of the French nobility under Louis XIV. Bruyere first issued this original expansion of Theophrastus’s work of Essays on the Ethical Characters updating and refining the ancient work into a series of observations on the luxurious lifestyle of nobles in contrast to the gritty and harsh realities of everyday people working men & women and peasantry. The work proved to be wildly popular after publication and within the author’s lifetime earned the original French publisher a profit of 300000 Francs. By this final edition Bruyere’s original work had been expanded to 1120 fragments and 16 thematic sections. See: Wing L105.
