Note

• 34th edition
• full title - took from ESTC W21633 - does not mention women and instead uses the neutral "councillors"; it also teases the potential reader with "many pretty pictures, lively expressing each history": Roman stories: or The history of the seven wise masters of Rome, containing seven days entertainment, in many pleasant and witty tales, or stories, wherein the treachery of evil councillors is discovered innocency cleared, and the wisdom of seven wise philosophers displayed. Newly corrected and better explain'd, and enlarg'd. Adorned with many pretty pictures, lively expressing each history. For this, see also Roman Stories: or, The history of the seven wise masters of Rome . London: James Hollis, 1785–1792
