Transcriber's note: Minor spelling inconsistencies, mainly hyphenated words, have been harmonised. Obvious printer errors have been repaired.
Accents:
In French sentences, most of them italicized, accents have been added, when necessary, according to the French spelling rules of the time.
In an English context, French words have no accents if there are no accents in the original text. In case of an inconsistent use of accents, the French spelling has been favoured.
The Latin numbers (i and ii) in the text refers to transcriber's notes at the end of this e-book.
The advertisement for other books in the series have been removed from page 3 to the end of this e-book.
