Notes AAS Notes:
"In the present edition of Lady Morgan's work, care has been taken to translate all the words and phrases ... The above advertisement was printed in the first Philadelphia edition of 'France;' but owing to the haste with which the translations were made, and the work printed, several errors occurred. Most, if not all of them, it is believed, are corrected in this (the second) edition. The four engravings ... are taken from a work entitled 'Picturesque views of public edifices in Paris. By Mess. Segard and Testard.'"--Advertisement, p. [ii].
Some copies have an additional "advertisement" pasted inside front cover: It was not intended to publish the edition of Lady Morgan's France, until the engravings were ready to accompany it. But the other edition being entirely sold ... a few copies have been done up in boards without the plates--the purchasers of these, however, can have the views separate, by paying the difference of price.
