Gottfried August Burger was a German poet. His ballads were very popular in Germany. His most noted ballad Lenore had a profound effect on the development of Romantic literature throughout Europe and a strong influence on the English ballad-writing revival of the 1790s. Lady Diana Beauclerk nee Lady Diana Spencer was an English noblewoman and artist. During those years of her second marriage Lady Diana's artistic talents became particularly evident: she practiced portraiture and her enormous output of small drawings of fat cupids entangled in branches of grapes and little girls wearing mob caps gave place to larger and more ambitious groups of peasantry introduced into landscaped backgrounds. She worked chiefly in pen and ink pastel and watercolor. In 1796 she illustrated the English translation of G. A. Burger's ballad Leonora and in 1797 The Fables of John Dryden; in both cases her illustrations were engraved mostly by Francesco Bartolozzi. DNB The esteemed and highly sought-after engraver Francesco Bartolozzi was selected to translate her drawings to copperplates attests to her high standing. Only two books were published accompanied by her illustrations both engraved by Bartolozzi and published by Bensley: Spencerss translation of Lenore 1796 and the Fables of John Dryden in 1797. The golden Preface of Dryden's Fables included in this edition describes his delighted progress from Homer to Ovid from Ovid to Chaucer and from Chaucer to Boccaccio the volume constantly swelling in his hands; I have built a house he concludes where I intended but a lodge Dryden's search for materials was far and wide. He plundered medieval as well as ancient story; he went to the greatest tellers of tales wherever they were whether they were Greek Roman Italian or English The chime of Dryden's verse was never done.

Although the pagination runs continuously throughout the volume the 'Short account of the most eminent painters' has its own title-page which reads: 'A Short Account Of the most Eminent Painters Both Ancient and Modern Continu'd down to the Present Times According to the Order of their Succession. London Printed for W. Rogers at the Sun against St. Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet. 1695.'. Du Fresnoy's Latin poem was originally published shortly after his death in 1668. It was followed by translations into French 1668 English prose 1695 German 1699 Italian 1713 and Dutch 1733. Du Fresnoy opens his poem by declaring that 'As poetry shall be like a painting so should painting be like poetry'. Beauty should be interpreted in different ways - as may be seen in such famous ancient statues as the Antinous the Hercules the Venus the dying Gladiator. Besides Dryden's translation of Du Fresnoy's poem the present volume includes a translation of the Remarks with which Roger de Piles accompanied his French version of the poem 1668. Dryden's famous preface Parallel of Poetry and Painting stands on its own as one of the author's most respected works. The first appearance of Richard Graham's chronology of eminent artists both ancient and modern is presented here with its own title-page. While President of the Royal Academy Sir Joshua Reynolds published extensive notes on Du Fresnoy's Art of Painting in William Mason's new translation 1783.
