From the list of errata on [page 317], the following changes have been made to this text:

[Page 275]: "Bedingsfield" was changed to "Bedingfield".

[Pages 278] and [282] "Percival" was changed to "Perceval".

On [page 133] no change was made to correct an internal inconsistency in the date mentioned in the following sentence: "Duc de Choiseul, who wrote in August, 1867...." From the context, it may be assumed that the date was intended to be "1767".
