        Now Mr. Bond. For your next mission. We’re going to need you to learn 19th century French and translate this into modern English.

          I’ll get on that, but in the meantime, I believe this is a full English translation.

          Good read btw, I remember going through this a few years ago. Really interesting to see how east & west were connected in the ancient world.
