Transcriber’s Note

Appendix B contains a series of letters in French. The editor

comments (p. #447): “The spelling of the words in the Letters, the

way in which those words are run into one another...have ... been

left as they stand in the transcript.” With that approach, with

three exceptions (obvious transpositions of letters), no corrections

have been made.

Likewise, there are frequent quotations from contemporary sources,

and any deviations from our standard spellings are left untouched,

but noted here: mesages (44.23), l’esperane 495.6, contrar (552.8).

At 10.11, there is an error. the Electress Sophia died in 1714 not

1712, two months before Britain’s Queen Anne died and Sophia’s son

George became George I of England.

In the Index, references to a note on a given page, may include the

original note number (e.g., ‘323 _note_ 1’) should there be more

than one. In those cases the original number is changed to the

resequenced number.

The Index entry on p. 101 for Charles (Elector Palatine does not

exist. . Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been

corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and

line in the original. or, if in a note, to the page, note and line

within the note.
