About This Item
London, Printed by W. G. For John Sims..., 1671. 8vo, pp. [xlvi], 432, 431 - 510 (pp. 430 - 431 repeated in pagination), engraved frontispiece, engraved portrait of Monmouth, 18th century calf, recently rebacked, red morocco label, gilt arms of Signet library on each cover. Senault's De l'Usage des Passions was first published in 1641 and frequently reprinted in French. This translation was first published in 1649, and this would appear to be the same sheets with the mis-pagination uncorrected, but without the adverts found at the end of the 1641 impression. In 1772, John Almon published a work, The Philosophy of the Passions without mentioning Senault and in a translation not unlike the above. There are a number of corollaries in the work between Senault's theory of the passions and those found in Alexander Pope's poetry, particularly An Essay on Man. Wing S 2505.
