Love without affectation, in five letters from a Portuguese nun, to a French cavalier. Done into English verse, from the newest edition lately printed at Paris. To which is added, a prefatory discourse of the nature and use of such epistles in general; with the excellency of these in particular; the time when they were written; the reasons why; the true names and circumstances of the persons concern'd in them; and undeniable proofs given of the pretended answers to them, which go under the name of the chevlier Del, being spurious. Never extant before, and communicated to the translator in verse, by unquestionable authorities.
