Reading edition
“Mémoire pour le Comte de Cagliostro contre Maître Chesnon fils et le Sieur de Launay,” p. 4, et seq. In several of the earlier documents filed in the “Affaire du Collier,” the prefix “Count” has been marked through with a pen, both where it occurs in the body of the instrument and also as part of Cagliostro’s signature. After a time, the registrar or reporter seems to have grown tired of making this excision, and to have allowed the disputed title to pass unobliterated.
