A quotation from an earlier work of the author, beginning on p. 46,
with "I protest once for all...", ends on the following page with
the end of the paragraph ending with "in opposing war to war." However,
the closing quotation mark is missing. It has been added here, after
confirming the extent of the quote in the cited source.
On pp. 222 and 226, the seraglio of "Abennérig" (in the French original)
is referred to variously as "Aberverig" and "Abenverig". Neither are
correct but are retained.
This original French text used copious footnotes, which were gathered
by the translator into a "Notes" section at the end of the text, and
numbered sequentially within each chapter. In doing so, numerous errors
were introduced, leaving many references pointed to the wrong or missing
notes. These errors, to the best of our knowledge, have been corrected,
based on a contemporary French edition. Where necessary, the references
have been re-numbered, sequentially.
The chapter number is included in the note number, e.g. [1.10]. Thus,
[I.54] is the 54th note to the Introduction.
Where the anchor has been restored or corrected, curly braces were
used, as {1.6}. Any text supplied for the three missing notes
themselves is also delimited by braces.
The reference to note 4.25 is missing, though it appears in the Notes.
On p. 97, the following sentence was incompletely translated:
"The Jews of Egypt and Hellenists of Palestine, indeed, practised a
more tolerant system, and habitually perused the Greek translations
of the Bible."
The complete sentence from the original should have been:
"The Jews of Egypt and Hellenists of Palestine, indeed, practised a
more tolerant system; {they employed Greek in prayer}{4.25}, and
habitually perused the Greek translations of the Bible."
Rather than omit the reference to 4.25 along with the missing phrase,
it has been placed at the end of the sentence as printed.
The following references were simply misprinted, and have been
corrected: 10.6 -> 10.9 ; 12.83 -> 12.33; 15.6 -> 15.9.
In the Notes section, note 7.13 was misprinted as "31" and has been
corrected.
Reference 5.65 was used twice, resulting in the remaining 36 notes of
Chapter V being mis-referenced by one. The numbering for Chapter V has
been corrected.
On the other hand, the text of notes 1.6, 11.22, 15.49 and 16.23 were
missing altogether. These have been restored from the French edition,
and the notes renumbered accordingly. Curly brackets indicate these
additions and corrections, either for the references or for the notes
themselves.
The text of note 1.48 appeared redundantly in the text itself, an
obvious error, and has been removed.
