Item Description:Sub-title varies.

Vol. 3, pts. 1 and 2 have imprint: London, Printed for T. Durham ... and G. Kearsley.
"Preface by Mr. Caraccioli": v. 1, p. [lvii]-lxiv.
"An original letter in answer to M. Voltaire's objections to the authenticity of Ganganelli's letters": v. 3, pt. 2, p. [457]-473.
The genuineness of the collection has been questioned by several authorities (Lowndes, Barbier, Vacant et Mangenot, etc.) the authorship being attributed to L.A. de Caraccioli. That it is in substance a genuine collection, though some of the letters are spurious, is affirmed by Alfred von Reumont in his "Gangenelli...seine Briefe und seine Zeit. 1847."
