One or two of his literary productions were published posthumously. Unprinted and unknown until now have been his verse translations of Nicolas Boileau: Satires 2 and 5, and one canto of L’Art poétique. The two satires are here introduced and transcribed in full from the British Library manuscript in which they appear.
