Notes

"The (anonymous) first French translation of Berington’s celebrated utopian novel, "Memoirs of Sigr Gaudentio di Lucca' (1737) appeared in 1746. Dupuy-Demportes’ version (first published in Paris [but appearing as 'Amsterdam' ] in 1753) included a number of new episodes, and was so liberally and successfully adapted to its new context that it became a firm part of the French utopian tradition".
