Notes
Translation of: Melmoth the wanderer.
Translated by Madame Eugénie-Anne Bégin (née Fournier de Pescay).
First French translation; for the priority of the Bégin translation over that of Jean Cohen's competing translation, see the reviews in Tablettes universelles, 6 (1821): 557-558 and 7 (1821): 142.
Sadleir tentatively assigns priority to Bégin's translation while noting the publication of Jean Cohen's "Melmoth, ou l'Homme errant" in the same year, and expressing his uncertainty as to the relative status of two books.
