FOOTNOTES:
[1] Historical Record of the 44th, or East Essex Regiment (1864), by
Thomas Carter, of the Adjutant-General's Office.
[2] Dodwell and Miles, Indian Army List, 1760-1834.
[3] "You have Heard of Them," New York, 1854.
[4] _Morning Herald_, 8th June 1843.
[5] "An Englishman in Paris," 1892. The author of this book was A. D.
Vandam, who could not have had this from Lola personally, seeing that he
was born in 1842.
[6] Vandam, "An Englishman in Paris."
[7] De Mirecourt (_Contemporains_) fixes the date of this episode in 1843,
and bases it in reports in the _Constitutionnel_, which I have been unable
to trace.
[8] All the statements made concerning Lola in "An Englishman in Paris"
must be received with caution, as they can only be taken at the best as
hearsay evidence transcribed by Vandam.
[9] The foregoing section may seem more in the style of a novel than a
biography, but, the dialogue not excepted, it is an exact _resume_ of the
evidence given at the subsequent trial.
[10] It is imitated by Heine in some ironical verse, condoling with
Frederick William of Prussia on Lola's preference for Louis.
[11] _Morning Herald_, 3rd March 1868.
[12] "Unter den vier ersten Koenigen Bayerns," 1894.
[13] "Ein Vormaerzliches Tanzidyll." Berlin.
[14] I have used and slightly abridged the translation given in the
_Morning Herald_.
[15] Frau Von Kobell calls her Countess of Landsberg, a place to be found
on the map, which Landsfeld is not.
[16] This was the house built by Metzger, now number 19 Barerstrasse.
[17] Fuchs, "Ein Vormaerzliches Tanzidyll."
[18] Times, 4th March 1868.
[19] So says Mr. Boase in the "Dictionary of National Biography," but
quotes no authority.
[20] "Bygone Years," 1905.
[21] "Life and Adventures of G. A. Sala," 1896.
[22] _Times_, 7th August 1849.
[23] _Les Contemporains_, Paris, 1857. No sources of information are
indicated. De Mirecourt's real name was Jacquot.
[24] _New York Tribune_, 6th December 1851.
