  Transcriber's notes:

  Both US and British spellings of words are used throughout the text. Theprevalent spelling of individual words determined which were retainedand which were corrected. Non-standard spellings of common words havebeen retained if used consistently. Generally, compound words such as"musketbarrels" and "churchdoor" have been split. Archaic and Frenchspellings have been retained when appropriate to the sense of the text.Inconsistent spellings of proper nouns have been regularized to agreewith the most prevalent spelling.

  Punctuation errors affecting the flow of the prose appear to betypesetter's errors and have been corrected. These include missingperiods, missing open or closed quote marks, colons used wheresemicolons were more appropriate, and inappropriate placement ofpunctuation.

  Obvious typesetters' errors, such as repeated words, have beencorrected. Occasionally a missing word has been supplied when the sensewas obvious, such as in the phrase. "Thrusting their heads out of [the]window, they saw the town in confusion..."

  The translation contains countless French-like phrase constructions thatsound awkward in English, such as:

  "Meanwhile four o'clock struck without any courier with intelligence."

  "At half-past nine they reached Clermont, four leagues covered."

  "Unfortunately Charny was not to the fore."

  "We renounce describing what passed in an instant in her heart of Queen and loving woman..."

  "Just then a man leaped out of the crowd, who could not stop him."

  "In the adjoining room, a cheer burst at the words."

  "And away galloped he on the track of the King."

  In all cases they have been left as found.

  The following words have been corrected (page numbers are refer to theoriginal hardcopy):
