Ce critique n'avait pas tort en ce qui concerne le manque de scrupules de Percy. En effet, son travail peut être contrôlé aujourd'hui, car le manuscrit original, gardé jalousement par la famille, fut enfin publié en 1867 et 1868 . Parmi les cent soixante-seize pièces qui forment le recueil, il n'y en a que quarante-cinq qui soient véritablement copiées sur le fameux manuscrit, et même elles n'ont été publiées qu'après avoir été l'objet de retouches très sensibles de la part de l'éditeur.

That every thing which I said of those proceedings is true, is proved by the French newspapers, and even by the general orders of French generals.
For, at Paris, M. Thiers, on his return not long ago from the meeting hold at the chateau d'Eu, assured Earl Granville that the strictest orders had been sent to the French admirals in the Levant to avoid any thing which might lead to collision between French and British ships of war; in London M. Guizot, both before and after his visit to the chateau d'Eu, has always stated to the undersigned that the armaments of France are purely precautionary, and in no respect whatever aggressive; that France intends to remain for the present entirely quiet; but thinking that the measures which the four powers are about to take in the Levant may by possibility lead to events which might affect the general balance of power, or alter the state of possessions of the powers of Europe, or in some way or other bear upon the direct interests of France, the French Government had deemed it right to place himself in an attitude of observation; and at Alexandria the French agents are understood to have declared to Méhémet Ali that France has no intention whatever of taking up arms in his support.
