'Yorick's Sentimental Journey Continued' - a continuation of Sterne's bawdy 'A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy' first appeared, under the name Eugenius, in 1769, shortly after Sterne's death the year before. Eugenius was long held to be one John Hall-Stevenson, a friend of Sterne's but this theory has been discredited by later research and the actual author remains unknown.
