"The projets were originally written in French, the English text being the translation, and the English and French texts of each projet were printed in separate volumes. It has been considered advisable to print the English and French texts on opposite pages ... The pagination of this reprint will therefore differ somewhat from the original. Otherwise, no changes have been made from the originals."--Foreword, signed: William H. Byrnes, jr., chairman. John H. Tucker, jr., Gaston L. Porterie, editorial committee.
