- The Life and Exploits of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote de La Mancha. Translated from the Original Spanish of Miguel Cervantes de Saavedra by Charles Jarvis, Esq., in two volumes, 1742 London: Printed for J. and R. Tonson in the Strand and R. Dodsley in Pall-Mall; affront (SJ references Cervantes in the definition of affront. Perhaps based on the passage below from the Jervas translation of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza discussing the meaning of affront after being beaten by the carriers. Dict.: 3. To offer an open insult; to offend avowedly. With respect to this sense, it is observed by Cervantes, that, if a man strikes another on the back, and then runs away, the person so struck is injured, but not affronted; an affront always implying a justification of the act.)
