little known, for it is found neither in Hammarsköld's list of foreign novels translated into Swedish, nor in Lenström's. No Danish translation appears to exist. A Dutch one, in three volumes, published at Amsterdam, is mentioned in Arrenberg's revision of Abkoude's 'Naamregister van Nederduitsche Bocken,' but by some mischance he does not specify the date. The edition is described as the second, and it must of course have been issued before 1773, the date of Arrenberg's publication.
"There is no mention of any Italian translation in the different biographies of Fielding, which I have looked at in various Italian cyclopædias and biographical dictionaries. The library of the British Museum possesses one in Spanish. It is in four volumes, published at Madrid, in 1796. The translator is Don Ignacio de Ordejon, who informs us, in the preface, that he took it from the French of M. Laplace. He also gives in the preface a short account of the author, in which we are told, among other things, that although living in an irreligious country and age, he was much attached to religion, whose interests were always sacred in his eyes.'"
In conclusion, it may be stated that, in English, two of Fielding's novels ("Joseph Andrews" and "Amelia") have been illustrated by the graphic and genial pencil of George Cruikshank, in Roscoe's "Novelist's Library. "
