It may be satisfactory to you to know that some years after the edition of Sterne's Works the letter was published by Richard Warner (apparently from the original) in the Appendix to his Literary Recollections.

He had not, no doubt, what I see described as "le jeu ...

There is, however, no universal theory that holds good from New York to California; and hence the generalising ...
