This etext presumes a mono-spaced font on the user’s device, such as Courier New. Words in italics are indicated like _this_. But the publisher also wanted to emphasize words in sentences already italicized, so he printed them in the regular font which is indicated here with: _The pirates then went to +Hispaniola+._ Obscured letters in the original publication are indicated with {?}. Superscripts are indicated like this: S^{ta} Maria. Footnotes are located near the end of the work. * * * * * [Illustration: Lestevenon de Berkenroode] THE MEMOIRS OF _CHARLES-LEWIS_, Baron de POLLNITZ.
