Note

The translation usually attributed to H. Burgeois du Chastenet, but this is most probably incorrect and rather more probably translated by John Morrice, who explicitly wrote the dedication and the translator's prefaces (cf. Journal for eighteenth century studies, vol. 32, no. 2 (2009), p. 190)
