Montaigne, Select Essays of

"Essays selected from Montaigne, with a Sketch of the Life of the Author. London. For P. Cadell, &c. 1800." This volume is dedicated to the Rev. William Coxe, rector of Bemerton. The life of Montaigne is dated the 28th of March, 1800, and signed *Honoria*. At the end of the book is this advertisement:— "Lately published by the same Author 'The Female Mentor.' 2d edit., in 2 vols. 12mo." Who was *Honoria*? and are these *essays* a scarce book in England? In France it is entirely unknown to the numerous commentators on Montaigne's works.
