Michel de Montaigne · Charles Cotton
Michel de Montaigne’s Essays in the English of Charles Cotton, the friend of Izaak Walton: the first edition of 1685–86, the Montaigne of English readers for two hundred years, newly edited from the original volumes – the gaps of the free transcription filled and the Greek read from the scans, the errata of 1685 carried out – with the Latin verse quotations and Cotton’s renderings, the portrait and title pages of the first edition, and registers of persons, books, places and old words. Edited by Bernhard Trebuch. Volume III (1685): the thirteen chapters of the Third Book, from «Of Profit and Honesty» to «Of Experience». Reading sample: «Of Repentance», with the registers.
