AN
ESSAY
ON Τ H I
WORKS OF FROISSART.
?2"ΉΕ life of Froiflart has been the fubjeci of the preceding pages. I will now give the hiilory of his works, as well printed as manufcript, in verfe and in profe ; and I will, as faithfully as I am able, detail their contents. It may, perhaps, be thought I have been too minute ; but I feel myfelf to owe a particular attention to an hiilorian who alone is worth more than a multitude of others, by. the importance of the fubjeâs he inveftigates, and the long period cf time his hiftory contains. I bare be£des cb&rred that the author has unfolded in the cocrfe cf us work, many fads which fare to c&ai up aacr preceding ones : and for wast of ties TZ&XTJ&'SXL χ
