Ines de Castro (16  June  1825) Unable to identify with certainty. The most likely are the following:
de Castro, InesSonetos. 1824
Conjecture based on recent date.
OR
Motte, Houdart de laInes de Castro, tragedie. 1723
Conjecture based on title similarity.
OR possibly WG mistakenly writes ‘Ines' for ‘Agnes,' continuing to read works by Aphra Behn:
Behn, AphraThe histories and novels of the late ingenious Mrs. Behn. In one volume. Viz. Oroonoko, or The royal slave. The fair jilt, or Prince Tarquin. Agnes de Castro, or The force of generous love. Lover's watch, or the art of love. The ladies looking-glass. The lucky mistake, and love letters. 1796
