With an appendix containing critical notes by Richard Bentley. The second work is an open letter by Burman and a critical examination of Capperonne’s edition of Quintillianus’ “Institutione orator”, published in 1726, and expecially concerning the latters notes on Quintillianus, which - according to Schweiger II, p. 844-5 (and Burman) - are quite worthless , “... in welchem Briefe mancher gegrundete Tadel enhalten ist”. It’s also a response to the critic Capperonne is giving to Burman’s own edition of Quintilianus from 1720.
