Only nine complete copies are known to exist: the ESTC records only eight and NUC records one other. <br/><br/>Richardson wrote Pamela 1740 at the suggestion of booksellers Rivington and Osborn. "The book was highly successful and fashionable and further editions were soon called for. Richardson felt obliged to continue his story not only because of the success of Pamela but because of the number of forged continuations that began to appear. Pamela Part II appeared in 1741" Oxford Companion to English Literature.<br/><br/>"A translation of Pamela into French 4 vols. duodecimo with imprint 'A Londres chez Jean Osborne.M.DCC.XLII' was published shortly after the appearance of Vols. III and IV in English. The translator was the Abbé Prevost . It was offered for sale in France before Jan 12 1742 when fifty copies were seized from Guerin's. Apparently it was later sold with the tacit consent of the authorities. The price was six livres stitched" Sale Samuel Richardson: A Bibliographical Record p. 29.<br/><br/>The correct place of publication Paris and publisher Didot was discovered in a leaf of ads from an incomplete copy at the British Library that lists various Didot publications for sale.<br/><br/>An earlier translation of Parts I and II of Pamela appeared in 1741 in all likelihood by Chesnaye des Bois as well. "This French edition was published after the fifth English edition at the time when Richardson was begining to revise his text for the handsome octavo edition of the novel. According to the preface of the translator in Volume I Richardson furnished him with a small number of additions and corrections for the text" Ibid p. 16. And in the edition under notice the translation for the first two parts has been revised by Chesnaye de Bois per Richardson and the sequel has been translated for the first time.<br/><br/>Sale 15n p. 29.
