Well now about transl. Introd. No answer
comes from any bookseller: and so there is
nothing left for it but to publish it at our
own risk. I cannot find time to tell you of
all the projects that have past in :review:
that which is determined upon is as follows.
S. is a native of the Dutchy of Wertenberg: he
has a little state there he says of about £22
a year. At Stutgard, the the capital, there are
several booksellers Printers: the principal one
employs 7 pressers. S. writes to by this
very post, from minutes agreed upon between
us: giving him orders to print the work at
our expense. It is to be in 4to Roman type;
No of copies 750: 30 or 40 copies upon large
& fine paper for presents: I added, as thin
as it could be so as to be fine: this
in order to frighten people as little as possible
with the bulk. The inducement for preferring Stutgard to Leipsic is that at Stutgard
Sch. has relations: amongst others one of the
same name who is a Capt. in the D's service,
and having printed something himself
is acquainted with typographical matters.
He is to be a check upon the printer, &
is to take the charge of dispatching the copies
to the several places they are to be
sent to
The book being divisible into two parts
the p1 ending at Ch. 12.p.168. both are to
be begun at the same time. He has already
translated 168 pages, which I believe
is the 1st part, though he has not yet revised
and transcribed the whole. His transcript is as legible as print. In a fortnight's<lb/. time
