English translation of  Methode Pour apprendre a dessiner les Passions, Proposée dans une Conférence sur l'Expression générale, et particulière by Charles Le Brun (Amsterdam, François van-der Plaats, 1702) (see). While the translation of the text is overall well done, that of the title of the ilustrations – about 43 engravings of rather low quality – is rather imprecise.
