T41. The reporting fragment, unexpanded V. and three quoted qualities remain. English renders the plural family designation without identifying the speaker or authenticating a quotation. The final period moves inside the English quotation.
T288. Complete 28 precedes the one-paragraph fragment with parenthetic V. and plural des Mortemart . In the French source, the quote ends before the final period. Naïveté has two separate raised i -components and mêlé a peaked e -mark; plaisan-/terie is complete. No expansion of V. or external quotation identification is inserted.
T42. Both repeated rights and the nominal plural conclusion remain. Number is not silently replaced by a particular voting system. The source gives May without a day.
T289. The source prints the month Mai alone, with no day. The repeated du droit and plural équivalents after the colon remain a nominal formulation.
T43. The nominal age and contrast of excess and absence remain. No century number is inferred.
T290. The nominal Siècle opening and relative negative remain. Original-size color shows two distinct raised e -components in superfluës ; the necessary-word wrap néces-/saires is complete. No date is inherited from Mai .
T44. The negative reading of plus is contextual: the following worn-out brains support no more rather than a comparative greater number. Men of judgment contextually renders hommes de tête , whose literal head image continues in brains. Related figurative uses in the complete electronic 1798 Académie Tête entry, directly read by the literary specialist, support judgment; that entry does not separately define hommes de tête or settle the negative reading of plus . No dictionary facsimile was inspected. The physical wear and derangement are not smoothed into a generic claim about busyness.
T291. In the French source, the first nominal sentence retains plus without an inserted comparative term or negation. The singular multitude governs both use and détraque ; multi-/tude is complete.
T45. The nominal opening, dependent That and colon, three comparative contrasts and repeated and-that remain. Faculty of choosing renders élective without specifying elections; reasoning/judgment/demonstration remain distinct. Knowledge renders science in the broad intellectual contrast, not a named modern science. The final three classifications and two unsuitable means remain; the source paragraph continues onto 873 without a new unit. English [its] and [instrument] correspond to the partly lost […]on and […]nstrument in the continuation; the brackets encompass the whole English words without restoring missing French letters.
T292. The complete 7 mai owns one paragraph continuing through the first two lines of 873. The heading-like La politique. and Que : remain inside it. In the French source, the repeated comparative terms, Que/qu’ constructions, all three sur phrases and plural convenables remain without grammatical smoothing. At the 873 left edge the first word retains complete on but only separated right portions of its preceding glyph; neither color nor native 405 certifies a complete s . The next-line initial before nstrument is likewise incomplete, without a full i stem/dot. Both losses are explicit rather than completed from syntax. No page-boundary punctuation or new paragraph is inserted. The source collation records the typography, literal scait/superfluës , complete dates and incoming loss limits, with the individual reading qualifications retained.
T46. The infinitive, alternative and compressed final equivalence remain. The same freshly renders idem without supplying a named political system. The printed date gives only May.
T47. The reversal and repeated obligation remain as a separate infinitive paragraph within the same entry.
T48. The first quotation’s opening ellipsis, repeated quoted adjective, three very terms and new observation remain. The source of the quotation is not identified. English moves its terminal period inside the closing mark.
T294. The first day is provisionally read 28: the color view retains the upper curved head, diagonal transition and low foot of 2 beside intact 8, though the left contour is abraded and native 405 loses some of it. This fuller qualified reading differs from the provisional topology suffix-only label, without inference from sequence. The initial three dots are printed inside the quotation, not a reproduction-loss marker. In the French source, the quote closes before its period. The second involontaire is separately quoted; all three très and the semicolon remain. The left-edge o in observation is faint but has an identifiable rounded foreground contour in color, so no extra gap is inserted.
S1. Source editor’s annotation Joubert wrote out this whole month of June, and several following months, twice, copying and correcting from one notebook into another. It is the second, corrected version that I give. And here are the variants from the draft. Here: “Change [etc...] the nature, and by this change alone you make them useful or disastrous, atrocious or humane, legitimate or unjust.”
T49. The imperative and consequent present, repeated change and all three effects remain. The source editor’s expanded first version is kept in the separate annotation.
T56. The source editor’s first person and account of copying remain separate from Joubert’s text. The printed bracketed abbreviation is not filled from the main version. Alone and all three paired outcomes remain; their attribution is the editor’s comparison, not a newly inspected autograph. Unjust supplies an adjective for the literally printed noun injustices in the paired predicates; this grammatical interpretation is not a correction of the French transcription.
T295. The single 4 is provisionally readable from its sloping upper stroke, cross-junction and right stem in color/native, with abrasion disclosed. No positive complete preceding digit is visible, and no prefix is inferred. The repeated changez , en relation and three objects remain; the raised 1 follows effets before the baseline period.
S2. Source editor’s annotation First version: “The fact is that liberty comes from irreligion.”
T50. The cleft, not/but and repeated liberty remain. These people is the contextual demonstrative ceux-ci , without a supplied identity. The earlier variant is not substituted for this main wording.
T57. This quoted causal assertion is the editor’s first-version variant, not a replacement for the main demand for irreligious liberty. The framing and distinction of voices remain.
T51. The two one-of-the-most formulations, knowing/knowledge and discover/discovery repetitions remain. Kinds of knowledge contextually renders sciences without limiting the statement to modern experimental disciplines.
S3. Source editor’s annotation First version: “One of the most honorable and useful […] mistaken. And, to my mind, one of the most delightful […] is to discover one’s error. But for that, our errors must come from us, from our mind, from our good faith, and the same mind, the same good faith must take them from us. That is to say, for that our errors as well as our undeceivings must be ingenious, sincere, disinterested, innocent. Capable of undeceiving oneself: fine praise!”
T52. The quoted capacity, reflexive correction and repeated fine remain in a separate paragraph. No new speaker or error is identified.
T58. Both printed omissions remain unfilled. The first-person qualification, repeated for-that, mind and good-faith sequence, same terms and four final qualities remain. Undeceivings deliberately mirrors the unusual détrompemens beside errors. The editor’s quoted first version remains one annotation, separate from both main paragraphs. English uses a comma after mind where the source mark after esprit is provisionally retained as a period; its small irregular contour leaves a comma reading possible.
T300. The two bracketed ellipses are visibly printed source-editor omissions. The entire extended quotation remains one roman annotation attached to the second main paragraph. Repeated pour cela , the four final adjectives, détrompemens/innocens and singular ôte remain literal. In the French source, after esprit , the original-size color/native mark is provisionally retained as a period before lowercase de ; its small irregular lower contour leaves a comma alternative possible, and no authorial punctuation intent is asserted. The left starts à/il/bonne/dire/ingénieux/bel are identifiable at the qualified level. C’est à dire is unhyphenated.
