Transcriber’s Notes
- A small number of obvious typos have been corrected by the addition of a missing accent. For example, “Prefecture” and “Eglise” have been changed to “Préfecture” and “Église”, respectively. Except for this, the spelling and punctuation of the book have not been changed.
- There are six two-page maps in the source book. In this ebook the image of each of these maps has a double border and is followed by larger images of its left-hand and right-hand pages.
- If you are reading the HTML version of this book then clicking on a two-page map will open a larger image of it.
- In the source book some photographs are placed side by side on opposing pages to form a panorama. In this ebook they are shown side by side in a single figure so you can see the panoramic view. Each of these photographs is also shown on its own so that some details that are obscure in the panorama figure can be seen more easily.
- The table of contents in the book appears on the last page of the text as it does in this ebook. Here is a link to it: [Contents].
- An appendix, not found in the book, has been added to this ebook: it lists all the photographs and maps in the book with a link to each of them.
- Any item in the appendix or any caption of an illustration that is enclosed in square brackets has been added by the transcriber and does not appear in the source book.
- Near the beginning of the chapter entitled THE WAR OF 1914–18 there is a reference to
- “The Battle of the Marne,” part III., “The Revigny Pass”.
- This is another Michelin guide but it is not the one that has been posted to the Gutenberg site. If you are interested, see this book on archive.org—Battlefields of the World War, Vol I. Part III is on pages 215–289. See: https://archive.org/details/michelinguidetob00mill.
