About This Item
A Londres: Chez G. Owen T. Cadell... [i.e. Paris? s.n.], 1772. "A fictitious correspondence, attributed to the Marquis F. de Barbe-Marbois" --BLC, vol. 189, page 207. Cioranescu 21762 attributes this work to Claude-Prosper Jolyot de Crebillon. The letters in vol. 1 span the years 1753 to 1762; those in vol. 2 and vol. 3, 1746 to 1752. "Ces lettres eurent une grande vogue et furent très-souvent réimprimés; elles sont bien écrites, decentes, et ont souvent des aperçus politiques judicieux. On les regarde comme un ouvrage de jeunesse du marquis de Barbe-Marbois" --Bibliographie des ouvrages relatifs a l'amour, aux femmes, au mariage / Jules Gay, IV (1872), page 286. Fictitious imprint; cf. Die falschen und fingierten Druckorte / E. O. Weller. Title-page of vol. 3: Lettres de Madame la Marquise de Pompadour, depuis MDCCXLVI jusqu'a MDCCLII, inclusivement.
