Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

At the end of a kind of eul-de-sac, called the Impasse des

opened into another room assigned to the children. By the side of
these were two more apartments, one of them the dining-room, the
other reserved as a spare bedroom. The salon was both spacious and
