"The popularity of the Embassy Letters (in 1763) encouraged an editor, supposedly John Cleland, to fabricate an additional volume in 1767, containing five probably spurious letters along with an authentic and previously printed essay, letter, and some verse"--Halsband, R.  (Life of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, p. 289).

This fourth volume "was almost certainly a forgery"--Gibbs, L.  (Admirable Lady Mary, p. 237).
