This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1836 Excerpt: ...There will be time enough to write, so soon as I shall have arranged my plans with Cecilia. I am satisfied that Herbert will not approve them; but when does he approve any decision of mine?--Happily, he will be too much engrossed by the approaching marriage of his friend, to trouble himself much concerning my proceedings. Cowes.--Weary of my journey, weary of myself, weary of every thing! Cecilia's indisposition is evidently the mere result of her anxieties on account of her son; and I have already been able to give a more satisfactory turn to the views of both. 1 cannot persuade her of the possibility of leaving England; but Clarence is to accompany me to the Continent, as soon as she is well enough to part with us. We cannot travel alone; and I have therefore consented to engage a dame, or rather demoiselle de compagnie, a certain Miss Vinicombe, who officiated last season as souffre-douleur to Lady Evelyn Beresford, and was nearly worn into a consumption by arrow-root diet, and the wholesome privations of an invalidery; and whom Lady Cis recommends as an intelligent, accomplished woman. In ten days all will be prepared; and "fresh hopes and climates new" will, I Irust, restore that elasticity of spirits which the laborious lightness of London dissipation has so strangely subdued. England has served only to depress me;--on the Continent, I look forward to being thoroughly "desennuyee." END OF THE FIRST vOLUME. LONDON: PRINTED BY JAMES MOVES, CASTLK STREET, I.EfCfSTER SgUARE.

Why are there so many typos in my paperback? The book descriptions we ask booksellers to display prominently warn that our books contain numerous typos. Most book sellers display our descriptions. But if they don't, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do. We created your book using OCR software that includes an automated spell check. Our OCR software is 99 percent accurate if the book is in good condition. However, with up to 6,000 characters per page, even one percent can be an annoying number of typos. We carefully proof read the books we expect to sell enough copies to cover the cost of proof reading. But that could add more than a thousand dollars to the cover price of the rest. And nobody wants to pay that. If you need to see the original text, you can download a copy for free. Why is the index and table of contents in my paperback missing (or not working)? The book descriptions we ask booksellers to display prominently warn that our books are not indexed. After we re-typeset and designed your book, the page numbers change so the old index and table of contents no longer work. Therefore, we usually remove them. Since many of our books only sell a couple of copies, manually creating a new index and table of contents could add more than a hundred dollars to the cover price. And nobody wants to pay that. If you need to see the original index, you can download a copy for free. Why are illustrations missing from my paperback? The book descriptions we ask booksellers to display prominently warn that our books are not illustrated. We typeset our classics paperbacks using OCR software. Therefore, they don't have illustrations. We would really like to manually scan and add the illustrations. But many of our books only sell a couple of copies so that could add hundreds of dollars to the cover price. And nobody wants to pay that. If you would like to see the original illustrations, however, you can download a scanned copy of the original book for free.Why is text missing from my paperback? The book descriptions we ask booksellers to display prominently warn that our books may be missing text. Unfortunately, all or part of a page is occasionally missing from our copy of a book. Or the paper may be so discolored from age that you can no longer read the type. We would really like to track down and buy multiple copies of those books to compare and manually proof read and correct any missing text. But many of our books only sell a couple of copies so that could add hundreds of dollars to the cover price. And nobody wants to pay that. If you would like to read the original scanned book, you can download a copy for free.
