TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

The chapter summaries which follow the chapter title had a hanging indent in the original text for all chapters, except chapters IV and X. All chapter summaries in the etext including IV and X display this indent.

Footnote [65] is referenced (anchored) from inside Footnote [64].

Footnotes [107], [108], and [109] are referenced from inside Footnote [106]; and Footnote [107] has two anchors.

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.

Five occurrences of ‘D’Etrées’ have been left unchanged, though ‘D’Estrées’ is probably the intended name.

Four occurrences of ‘Hilsborough’ have been left unchanged, though ‘Hillsborough’ is probably the intended name.

Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.
