Feyjoo, an important 18th century Spanish critic and moralist, here defends his multi-volume work entitled THEATRO CRITICO. See Palau 91085 and 91104. Lasalla's Ibarra bibliography lists a 1761 printing of the first work ("Ilustracion Apologetica") but not our 1769 imprint. Lasalla does record the 1769 edition of the second part ("Justa Repulsa") as #251.
