In the dedication (dated 1761) of the 6th ed*, 
Thomas Mortimer, the editor, has some interesting 
comments on the editions and translations of his 
grandfather's book: "From the first edition it 
was translated into the French and Swedish lan¬ 
guages; and in Denmark and Ireland was reprinted 
at the publick expence* In England five editions 
have met with such approbation, that there is now 
scarce a single copy to be found for sale* To sup¬ 
ply this defect, a new impression appears*" 
There is no mention here of Thomas's having edited 
the 1716 and 1721 issues v/ith v/hich Cecil, 2d 
ed*, p*353, credits him* We have been unable to 
locate the Danish and Irish reprints referred to.
