Notes

The scarce second English edition of Charles Rollin's edition of Quintilian's Institutes: ESTC locates copies in 9 locations, none of them in the USA. Rollin (1661-1741), a Parisian historian and educator, had first published his edition at Paris in two small volumes starting in 1715; it was first reprinted in England in 1738 and went on to become a standard edition for the UK schools market.
