Item Description: | English Short Title Catalog, N49633. - Part of a fictitious collection, attributed to the Marquis François de Barbé-Marbois. - Reproduction of original from National Library of Scotland. - The first two parts, including letters from 1753 to 1762, were issued with the addition of Owen's name in the imprint (cf. N049631). - The imprint date and place are probably false; of the multiple "Londres" editions of the Letters, "this one is probably very close to 1772 and is less flagrantly (but almost certainly) of French manufacture" (KU-S) |
