This English translation of 1809 coincides with the Brtitish involvement in Spain against the French. The anonymous translator writes " In the translation few liberties have been taken with the original text: some compliments to the reigning family of France , and particularly to Joseph Buonaparte, have been omitted, as too fulsom for an English ear." These volumes have the book plates of the Fraser Institute of Montreal with a presentation plate of the Mercantile Library Association of Montreal.
