The book is a critical analysis of the dissertations written by Richard Bentley, a renowned scholar and theologian, on the authenticity of the Epistles of Phalaris and the Fables of Aesop.

Bentley's arguments were met with much criticism and controversy, with many scholars disagreeing with his conclusions.Boyle's book provides a detailed examination of Bentley's arguments and presents counterarguments to his claims. Boyle argues that Bentley's methodology and reasoning were flawed and that his conclusions were not supported by the evidence. Boyle also critiques Bentley's interpretation of the texts and provides his own interpretation of the works.Overall, Dr. Bentley's Dissertations on the Epistles of Phalaris and the Fables of Aesop, Examined is an important work in the history of literary criticism and scholarship. It offers a critical analysis of a controversial topic and provides valuable insights into the methods and reasoning of scholars in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
