Missing punctuation has been added and superfluous punctuation removed
(most frequently quotation marks). Period spellings have been retained,
although a number of obvious typographical errors were corrected.
Hyphenation is inconsistent throughout and a number of words occur
in various spellings.
The name of one historical figure appears both as Hebert and as Herbert
in the original, and has been changed to Hebert. Otherwise, no
corrections have been made to the French.

experienced at sight of Pendarves; and on inquiry
I found that he had, as he said, met that good
young man, Count De Walden.
