First Italian translation of Reynolds' first seven discourses, by Giuseppe Baretti.
Edited by Luigi Siries.
Baretti's response to the publication of this book can be found in his privately printed pamphlet "Lettera scritta da Giuseppe Baretti a Luigi Siries a Firenze," in which he criticizes Siries for not mentioning his name in the publication and for altering the text.--cf. Hilles, F.W. Literary career of Sir Joshua Reynolds, p. 51-59.
