"New Spanish Dialogues" & "New Dialogues in Spanish and French," this copy, printed during the youth of Louis XV, is a pedagogical work for becoming familiar with the Spanish language, containing many proverbs, explanations of several ways of speaking specific to the Spanish language; the construction of the universe, the principal terms of the arts and sciences, and a nomenclature at the end.
