The work, originally in three volumes, is now comprised in two; and the narratives of the campaigns have been generally given entire.

The Gregorian has been throughout substituted for the republican calendar, and a table of French weights and measures annexed. Some of the foot-notes by the translator serve as explanations to the text, and others have been added, more with a view to elicit inquiry on doctrines advanced by the author than to promulgate facts or opinions which

are new or uncommon.
