Paul Henri Mallet, 1730-1807, Swiss historian, was a native of Geneva. The first edition of this book was published in Copenhagen, where the
author occupied the chair of belles lettres, in 1758. The Geneva edition of 1763 is the
second edition, and according to Graesse and Quérard was actually published in Paris. The first two volumes contain the Introduction,
which was originally published as a separate work in 1755, and later reprinted separately under various titles; the translation
into
English was issued by Bishop Percy with the title
Northern Antiquities
