In 1766, when James III. died at Avignon, the French king and the Pope refused to acknowledge the prince by the title of Charles III.

Whatever may be thought of the convictions of the compiler, as to the enormity of the injury inflicted upon society from the habitual and increasing use of opium, he can not reconcile it to his sense of fairness to omit distinct reference to this most anomalous case.
