This handsome reprint of the Best Translation of Rabelais is limited to One Hundred Copies. 'It exhibits the genuine text of Urquhart, which has been corrupted and destroyed in the later editions, as given in the original edition printed at London in 1653, which was so scarce that Ozell had evidently never seen it.'
