In English, there are not many further collections of value, unless we add those of Pope; the correspondence of Samuel Richardson (London, 1806, 6 vols. 8vo); the Sydney and Dryden's Letters; the complete series of those of Lord Walpole; and Ellis's interesting collection of letters illustrative of English history. Those passing popularly under the name of the younger Lord Littleton are a forgery. So are those translated from the French, as the Letters of Ninon de l'Enclos. They are written by Damours. The pretended letters of certain Jews to Voltaire have obtained much of their currency from their supposed authenticity. They are by the Abbé Guenée. CHAPTER CXLI. Fables, Apothegms, Anecdotes, &c.
