Note 277 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
Messenger he renders by messager, instead of huissier, p. 749. More often, through mere indolence, he suffers the English word to stand: récorder, p. 61; commission d'oyer et terminer, p. 841; ranter, p. 189; quaker, p. 1375. He indifferently writes aldermens, p. 61, and aldermans, p. 717. He apparently does not know the French word tabac, always preferring the form tobac (tobacco).
