Summary (extracted citations)

Postscript: 'An attentive reader will discover some trifling anachronisms in this publication; but they no ways affect its general plan. The beginning, as far as relates to Dumourier, was written some months ago. The remainder was undertaken and finished within the space of the last ten days. July 31, 1793'.

Notes

The postscript comments on the timing of the composition. The translated fragments are accompanied by footnotes containing ironic comments on Dumouriez's words.
