Italics are delimited with the ‘_’ character as _italic_. A carat ‘^’ is used to denote a superscripted characters. Where multiple characters are subscripted, they are delimited by curly braces (e.g. le 1^{er} Septembre). All footnotes have been resequenced, from A to L, and moved to directly follow the paragraphs where they are referenced. Illustrations have been moved slightly in the text to appear on a paragraph break. Note that they had no captions, expecting the reader to identify the subjects from the context. In this text the position of the illustration is indicated as [Illustration: <subject>]. There are decorative images at each chapter break, and as footers at the end of several chapters and appear simply as [Illustration]. Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.
