Excerpt from Memoirs of the Family De Poly: With a Narrative of the Life of Antoinette Baroness De Poly
The first fifty pages of this work having been originally composed during the French Revolution, - a period, in which, inviolable secrecy with respect to names and places was indispensably necessary; the names in the Manuscript were allowed to be expressed only by their initial letters: it has since, however, been deemed desirable, in order to give weight to the truth of these Memoirs, that this defect should be in some way supplied, and therefore the Editor, by permission of the Baroness, begs leave to insert those of her father in full length, as under: -
At page 2, 8th line from the note, instead of The Baron de K..., son of Louis Baron de K...," read "Frederick Charles Guillaume Leonard Baron de Poly de Kallenback, son of Louis Baron de Kallenback"
But not being able satisfactorily to fill up the rest, it has been thought preferable, rather than commit any error, to retain them precisely as in (he Manuscript.
