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.

"In 1762 he was brought by Bartolozzi to Joseph Wagner's shop in Venice" and worked with several printers until 1772 when he moved to Rome to run his own shop and open a school of engraving. In 1786 he published a book with 36 plates entitled Principi del Disegno. Raphael Morghen was among his many pupils in Rome. The in this edition of Les Aventures de Télémaque Volpato's his engravings are in the classical style and some of them demonstrate his skill capturing the moment and highlighting the action of the scene. He is best remembered for series of plates after the frescos in the Vatican. Hind Short History of Engraving and Etching p. 209.
