Title: Paul and Virginia
Description: In introducing to the Public the present edition of this well known and affecting Tale, - the chef d'oeuvre of its gifted author, the Publishers take occasion to say, that it affords them no little gratification, to apprise the numerous admirers of Paul and Virginia, that the entire work of St. Pierre is now presented to them. All the previous editions have been disfigured by interpolations, and mutilated by numerous omissions and alterations, which have had the effect of reducing it from the rank of a Philosophical Tale, to the level of a mere story for children.
Subjects: Classic Literature, Fiction
