It was also translated into English albeit bowdlerised by Mary Stockdale and published in London in 1783-4 by Mary's father John Stockdale. The work remained popular until the middle of the nineteenth century.

With Wood engravings by Alexander Anderson the "father of American wood-engraving." <br /> <br /> Alexander Anderson 1775-1870 was born in New York the son of Sarah Lockwood and John Anderson the publisher of the rebel newspaper The Constitutional Gazette. His artistic ability became evident at an early age and he soon developed a strong sense of art as a vocation. Nevertheless his parents prevailed on him to study medicine apprenticing him to Doctor Joseph Young at the age of fourteen. In 1795 he was appointed resident physician at Bellevue Hospital during a yellow fever epidemic. The treatment options being limited he witnessed many perish. Things turned worse still during another epidemic in 1798 during which he lost his wife infant child both parents his brother and most of his friends to the disease. Anderson left medicine soon afterwards and entered the field of professional engraving enjoying a long and highly productive career. Anderson's contribution to the visual culture of the nineteenth century was enormous his wood engravings or stereotypes from them illustrating countless publications.
