Barbin. Authorship is disputed, but it is generally agreed that the first fifty letters (the original four volumes) were written by Marana. In the English editions, volume 1 contains the substance of the letters commonly ascribed to Marana. The continuation (id est volume 2-8), said to have appeared first in English, has been variously ascribed to Robert Midgley and William Bradshaw; Bradshaw has also been attributed as the translator (from Marana's Italian manuscripts) of the entire work under Dr. Midgley's editorship. compare DNB; also Gentleman's magazine, 1841, pages 270., Engraved frontispiece: "Mahmut the Turkish spy.", Reproduction of original in the British Library., Electronic reproduction.
