According to Melzi the Lettera ad una sposa (p. [45]-61) was not translated from the English, but written by Beatrice Cocchi in Italian and originally published in 1759. The Diz. biografico degli ital., however, says (XXVI, 457) that the letter was first published in 1751 and suggests that it was actually written by Antonio Cocchi, himself.
First published in 1762.  Cf. Melzi.
The imprint is fictitious, as are the imprints of all the other editions. Cf. Diz. biografico degli ital., XXVI, 457. The work was banned by the Catholic Church in 1762. This ed. may have been published in Venice by Colombani (cf. his advertisements at end) or in Florence where the Cocchi family resided.
