Transcriber's Notes
Missing page numbers are attributed to the presence of blank pages.
Obvious typographical errors were repaired, as listed below. Other apparent inconsistencies or errors have been retained. Missing, extraneous, or incorrect punctuation has been corrected.
Please note that the hard-copy book used to create this ebook was not in the best condition. As such, some characters were unreadable. The best effort has been made to recreate this book as faithfully as possible.
The corner of the cover of the book was torn. Thus, the last two digits of the year were missing. The date of copyright was used to complete the cover date.
A Table of Contents has been added for the convenience of the reader. The original publication did not include a Table of Contents.
Page 9, "Verennes" changed to "Varennes". (All his feeling for Catherine when Isidore was slain at Varennes, where Billet arrested the king in his flight, was of utter pity.)
Page 24, "Verginaud" changed to "Vergniaud" for consistency. (A speech of Vergniaud blasted it.)
Page 33, "Damouriez" changed to "Dumouriez" for consistency. (Dumouriez held his tongue for a space, and, being a consummate actor, he regarded the speaker with deep pity.)
Page 64, "seaman" changed to "seamen". (They were hardy seamen, rugged peasants, sunburned by the African simoom or the mountain gale, with hands callous from the spade or tough with tar.)
Page 75, "mes age" changed to "message". (While he was playing thus, and chatting with Roederer, attorney of the province, the message came twice that the king wanted to see him.)
Page 83, "your" changed to "you". ("Why did you order out the cannon?")
Page 96, "fisheman" changed to "fisherman". (The fisherman hooked another, and jerked him out like the first.)
Page 133, "One" changed to "On". (On the 28th of August, the Assembly passed the law on domiciliary visits.)
Page 162, "Boursonnse" changed to "Boursonnes" for consistency. (Count Charny rests in the family vault at Boursonnes.)
Page 171, "eat" changed to "ate". (... but they found a plain old fellow whom they could not tell from his valet, who ate and drank heartily and slept soundly,...)
Page 180, "Mirabean" changed to "Mirabeau" for consistency. (But they injured the king and the priests, showing up the narrow mind, sharp and ungrateful, of Louis, who only hated those who wanted to save him—Necker, Lafayette, and Mirabeau.)
Page 198, "Robespiere" changed to "Robespierre" for consistency. (... the French Revolution was led by Ange Pitou and Farmer Billet, with Citizens Danton, Marat, Robespierre & Co., playing the secondary parts.)
Page 201, "bans" changed to "banns". (By the way, as a pure Republican, Pitou was delighted to find that the Republic had done away with the publication of the banns and other ecclesiastical trammels which had always galled true lovers.)
In the advertisement for The Battle for Bread, the number of pages was unreadable in the original. Therefore, an educated guess was made to arrive at the number, 285.
In the advertisement for The Black Art Exposed, "cnts" has been changed to "cents" for consistency. (15 cents.)
In the advertisement for Ogilvie's Handy Monitor and Universal Assistant, "books" has been changed to "book". (No more valuable book has ever been offered containing so much information of practical value in everyday life.)
