[1] blank, [8], 134, [2] blank leaves : illustrations(woodcut) ; 17 cm. (8vo). Probably written in Paris in late spring 1584. Probably printed in Rouen during that summer. An extremely close and accurate translation of the "Commonwealth". Its chief "villainous addition", a very amusing twenty-page essay at the end, is aimed more explicitly at a French audienceand expends considerable energy upon charges aginst the Earl (such as his subversino of the Duke of Anjou in the Low Countries) that might particularly offend the French reader. There are signs that this edition was considered by its author to be the second installment of a continuing campaign. He mentions, for example, further translations into Latin and Italian shortly to appear (but which, so far as is known, never did). Cf. Allison & Rogers.
