The first London edition, in French, of a history of Ancient Greece, intended for the use of Students of the Royal Military School in Paris. The 'abrégé de la fable' is a translation from poet and philologist Joseph de Jouvency's (1643-1719) Appendix de Diis et heroibus poeticis (1704) - itself a translation of the first two books of Pierre Gautruche's Histoire poétique pour l'intelligence des poètes et des auteurs anciens. Dilly issued a second edition in 1799.
