This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1737 edition. Excerpt: ... sounds were more than human. Hark! Again! O honour'd friend, no adverse hauner streams In sight. No shont proclaims the Persian freed From his late terror.
