[Transcriber's Note:] This is the third volume of three. The index is in this volume, with links to all three volumes; and some footnotes are linked between volumes. These links are designed to work when the book is read on line. However, if you want to download all three volumes and have the links work on your own computer, then follow these directions carefully. 1. Create a directory (folder) named whatever you like (e.g., Victoria). (The name of this directory (folder) is not critical, but the inner folders must be named as listed below, or the links between volumes will not work). 2. In that directory (folder) create 3 directories (folders) named 20023 24780 28649 3. Create the following directories (folders): In the 20023 directory create a directory named 20023-h In the 24780 directory create a directory named 24780-h In the 28649 directory create a directory named 28649-h 4. Download the zipped html version of each volume. Download Vol. I from [http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/20023] Download Vol. II from [http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/24780] Download Vol. III from [http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/28649] 5. Unzip the downloaded files and move them into the appropriate directories: Move the unzipped 20023-h.htm file and its "images" directory into your 20023-h directory. Move the unzipped 24780-h.htm file and its "images" directory into your 24780-h directory. Move the unzipped 28649-h.htm file and its "images" directory into your 28649-h directory. Use the BACK button to return from a link. Errata - old typos: Obvious punctuation errors have been corrected. The remaining corrections made are indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear. Note: The letter 't' was omitted from three words ('sentiments', 'indépendants', and a second instance of 'sentiments', in a letter fron Emperor François Joseph (le 8 Mars 1859). It seems unlikely to have been a printer's error.
