Notes

Preface in the form of a letter from Paris. Not certain whether it is new to the edition or belongs to the original. The letter's author ascertains the authenticity of the memoirs, as they were the object of much speculation in Paris. The translation is mentioned among Holcroft's works by A.A. Markley in Re-Viewing Thomas Holcroft, 1745-1809: Essays on His Works and Life.
