In general I have neither modernized the foreign languages nor sought to provide French accent marks not supplied by the original eighteenth-century authors. The original language is given in footnotes for the specialist reader; translations are intended to give the sense of the text with specialists expected to consult the original for the full text. It should be remembered that many Dutch writers of French were using a second language and, as a result, their French can be somewhat eccentric. Many scribes recorded masonic minutes, but not for twentieth-century readers. Every effort has been made to keep this author's errors of transcription to a minimum.
