and by the communication of it to the parties con-
cerned, for their consent to the publication. Accord-
ingly this was done, through the medium of a
French literary friend, to whom the writer begs to
offer his best thanks for that and other services
which he has kindly rendered him, as also for the
French annotations from his pen which will be found
printed at the foot of the pages of the Journal.

It is a satisfaction to him to reflect, that by being
submitted to persons in France peculiarly qualified
to judge of its accuracy, his narrative has received a
stamp of authenticity which it would not otherwise
have possessed.

The Notes which the Author has added at the
close of the volume are designed to give further
evidence in illustration of the main topics of the
Journal, which appear to be assuming every day
more and more importance both in France and in
our own country.

April, 1845.
