About this text

Douglas Blackburn († 1929): public-domain work. The text is that of la transcription établie par Erostrate sur le fac-similé d'Internet Archive (A Burgher Quixote, by Douglas Blackburn, Edinburgh and London, William Blackwood and Sons, 1903). Erostrate has not changed a single word: only the layout and the division into pages are ours.
