--------------------- Transcriber's note: 1. The footnotes, originally printed at the bottom of pages, were moved to the back of the book. 2. Spacing within some citations was made more consistent. Except for that, and the cases mentioned below, this book retains the spelling and punctuation of the original: a. The title "Comte de Ségur" was mentioned twice, once spelled "Segur." This was changed "Ségur" for consistency.
