Notes: A translation, sometimes attributed to John Howell, of "Briève relation de la vie de Christine reyne de Suède", and "Le génie de la reyne Christine de Suède", first printed in 1655.

According Wing and also to Halkett and Laing in their Dictionary of anonymous and pseudonymous publications in the English language (3rd ed.), "Briève relation de la vie de Christine" is erroneously attributed to Urbain Chevreau, secretary to Christina in the early 1650s.

According to NUC Pre-1956, the work is attributed to Gregorio Leti on the grounds that "a version with title: L'adieu des françois à la Suède, is in his Le portrait et la vie secrette de la reine Christine de Suède".

According to A.A. Barbier in his  Dictionnaire des ouvrages anonymes, "Le génie de la reyne Christine de Suède", erroneously attributed to Urbain Chevreau, was apparently written by a Mr. Saint-Maurice, as a vengeful satire against Kristina.

The lines "resignation ... voyage ... journey to Rome" are bracketed together on title page.
