Overview

A descriptive account of the islands lately discovered in the South-Seas By John Trusler Trusler was born in Hanover Square, London, England, in July 1735.[1] His father was the proprietor of the public tea gardens at Marylebone. In his tenth year, he was sent to Westminster School, and at the age of fifteen he was transferred to Mr Fountaine's fashionable seminary at Marylebone. Next he proceeded to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, whence he graduated B.A. in 1757.[2] On his return home he translated from the Italian several burlettas and adapted them to the English stage. One of these, he says, was 'La Serva Padrona, ' or the 'Servant-Mistress, ' of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, performed in Marylebone Gardens in 1757; but it seems that the real translator was Stephen Storace We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
