[Footnote 95: By Mably, (Observations sur l'Histoire de
France,) Voltaire, (Histoire Generale,) Robertson, (History
of Charles V.,) and Montesquieu, (Esprit des Loix, l. xxxi.
c. 18.) In the year 1782, M. Gaillard published his Histoire
de Charlemagne, (in 4 vols. in 12mo.,) which I have freely
and profitably used. The author is a man of sense and
humanity; and his work is labored with industry and
elegance. But I have likewise examined the original
monuments of the reigns of Pepin and Charlemagne, in the 5th
volume of the Historians of France.]
