- ↑ 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. (This mansion is now the Post-Office of Paris.) 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.
