The Wanderings of the Heart and Mind: or, Memoirs of Mr. de Meilcour, translated by M. Clancy. Clara Reeve maintained in 1785 that Crébillon's book was never popular in England and that "Some pious person, fearing it might poison the minds of youth ... wrote a book of meditations with the same title, and this was the book that Yorick's fille de Chambre was purchasing" (The Progress of Romance [N.Y.: Facsimile Text Society, 1930], pp. 130-131).
