  1. I thank M. Depping of the Bibliothèque Ste Geneviève for his revision of the above list, and for his highly probable suggestion that No. 45 is, in reality, a Portrait of De la Fontaine, the great fabulist, seated in the garden of the hotel of his intimate friend, Monsieur d’Hervart, Master of Requests.

The originals of Wills “translated from the French” were returned to the families of the testators, so that it is now impossible to verify the translations.
