Lewis also translated, with others, Anthony Hamilton, Fairy tales and
romances, 1849. In 1899 appeared an edn of his trn of Hamilton, Les
quatres Facardins, with continuations by Lewis and the Duc de Lévis. Les
mystères de la Tour Saint-Jean, 4 vols Paris 1819, is described on title page
as ‘par Lewis, auteur du Moine’, but cannot be identified as a trn of any known
work of his. Tales of terror [in verse], with an introductory dialogue,
1801, 1808 (2nd edn), is wrongly attributed to Lewis. Tales of terror and
wonder, ed H. Morley 1887 and Tales in verse of terror and wonder, ed L.
E. Smith, Girard KS [1925], combine poems from this collection with Lewis’s
Tales of wonder. Summers lists various other spurious attributions, imitations,
parodies and plagiarisms.
