Transcriber's Notes
The original book is an excerpt of the author's "History of Latin Christianity, Vol. IV.," chapter VIII, pages 309-424. A copy of that volume at [http://archive.org/details/historylatinchri04milm] was used to help correct typographical errors in this eBook.
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book or its source; otherwise they were not changed.
Sidenotes originally appearing near the start of a paragraph are positioned at the beginning of the paragraph; sidenotes in the middle of long paragraphs usually are positioned just before the nearest sentence.
Depending on the display mechanism, sidenotes may be in shaded boxes, on lines of their own, or mid-paragraph, enclosed in |vertical lines|.
Footnotes have been renumbered in a single sequence for the entire book.
Table of Contents added by Transcriber; the original book did not have a Table of Contents, an Index, or any illustrations.
Page [vi]: "18vo." changed from "18mo."
Footnote [107]: changed "écartelent" to "écartelant," as spelled in "History of Latin Christianity" and in the cited book, "Notes d'un Voyage dans le Midi de la France." The name of the author of "Notes" appears as "Merimée" in this book and in "History of Latin Christianity," but is spelled "Mérimée" in that author's own book, "Notes."
