The listed errata have been corrected (although the list is by no means comprehensive), as have obvious typos. However, the original text contained inconsistencies in hyphenation, accents and sometimes spelling—these have been retained.
Much of the text of this book is in old French or the Guernsey French dialect, and may not conform to the expectations of a modern reader of the language.
