- voir G. Artigas-Menant, Lumières clandestines. Les papiers de Thomas Pichon. Paris, Champion, 2001, pp. 53-67; 157-166:
-- p. 54: "il reste beaucoup de mystères à éclaircir sur ce personnage réellement extraordinaire et trop mal connu"
-- p. 56: mariage en 1737 avec Claude Antoine Malter
-- p. 57: vivait avec un nommé Beaumont en 1750
-- p. 60: en 1757 mariée avec Thomas Pichon (Tyrrell) à Londres.
pour les circonstances et les détails voir les passages en question, pour lesquels Artigas se base sur les "Papiers Pichon".
se méfier des autres biographies, qui se seraient basées sur des interprétations trop rapides ou erronées.
8 April 1750 Leprince de Beaumont went to Montagu's salon, where she also met Anne-Marie du Boccage, who noted it in her Lettres anglaises (Robain, Mme Leprince de Beaumont intime, 2004, p. 45)
