Inscriptions

Complete course of study,

for Englisman to obtain the

French Language

at home.

This is the book from Jerome Nicolas Vlieland. It  is a presentation copy from 1827.

As you can see 200 years old but still in a good condition .

when we open it we see the inschription 

To 

W.Taylor Esq

As a mark of Respect 

for his Zeal in the cause 

of literature

from the Author.

This William Taylor is William Taylor of Norwich.

And there is a lot to tell about him .

So we will in several new chapters in the blog tell about his life.

And he is  also named in the blog allready .

Together with John Moore and a lot of other people.

In a long story William Taylor and captain Vlieland meet.

And there is the clue to be found about Jerome Nicholas Vlieland.

As it in Dutch I will try to translate it in English for all to enjoy.

the other inscription is  

to the honourable 

Colonel George Anson,M.P.

this volume 

is most respectfully inscribed 

by his obliged 

and most obedient servant,

the author

The book is great with all kind of folded big charts .

Maybe in the end we will also speak French fluently.
