Transcriber’s Note: The original publication has been replicated faithfully except as shown in the Transcriber’s Amendments at the end of the text. This etext presumes a mono-spaced font on the user’s device, such as Courier. Words in italics are indicated like _this_. But the publisher also wanted to emphasize names in sentences already italicized, so he printed them in the regular font which is indicated here with: _The pirates then went to +Hispaniola+._ Footnotes are located near the end of the work. There is an index. * * * * * THE MEMOIRS OF _CHARLES-LEWIS_, Baron de POLLNITZ.
