Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IN accordance with many suggestions, I have, in the second volume of these Memoirs ventured to compress certain portions of the text which deal with matters quite extraneous to the career of M. D''artagnan, but the book has not been howd lerised in any way whatever. The reader will find the last section of this volume, which describes d''artagnan''s adventures in London, especially worthy of his attention. The whole of it, however, is full of interest, and should it fail to meet with the attering reception accorded to its predecessor, the fault will lie rather with the translator than with the work itself.
