[TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE]
Archaic, inconsistent and unusual spellings from the original book have been preserved in this ebook. Obvious typos have been fixed. Changes are indicated below and in the text with a mouse-over like this.The spelling of many family names in this book varies from the spelling used in historical documents today. The cover was developed at pgdp.net and is in the public domain.
In the original book, “Ibid.” was used in the footnotes only when the same source was cited in adjacent footnotes on the same page. In this ebook, the use of “Ibid.” has been changed to appearing only when adjacent footnotes on the same paragraph cite the same source. This change is not noted in the details below.
The quality of the illustrations in the original book were generally acceptable, however the [illustration of Frederiksberg Palace] was definitely the worst in terms of clarity and detail—that is the way it appeared in the original book. Also, a little research has led me to question whether that illustration is representative of the way the Ferderiksberg Palace appeared during the events of this book (1751-1771), or if it is the way the Palace appeared after the gardens in front were redesigned 1795-1804.
