Transcriber's Notes
Obvious punctuation and accent errors repaired. Note that it was
customary to write a captial "E" without an "accent aigu" and this has
been retained.
There are two distinct rivers "Loir" and "Loire" so no attempt has been
made to consider one as a typo of the other.
Hyphen removed: "left[-]ward" (page 34), "franc[-]tireur(s)" (pages 70,
281, 428), "gun[-]boats" (page 121), "grave[-]yard" (page 110, twice),
