NOTE.
In Germany, the title of "Councillor" (Rath) can bepurchased by those who achieve a certain eminence in theirseveral walks of life, or it may be conferred as an honour bythe Prince or King. The merchant who gives the name tothis romance is thus "Councillor of Commerce," a compoundword so unwieldy in English that the translator preferred torender "In the house of the Councillor of Commerce" by"At the Councillor's."
