Excerpt from The Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 10: The Restoration The compromise between a phonetic and the native spelling which we have adopted is not and cannot be in all respects satisfactory; but the correct native spelling of Polish names would involve the use of an alphabet unknown to most of our readers; and a purely phonetic spelling would be too great a deviation from customary usage. In one have deliberately retained the familiar German transliteration. General Diebitsch might not have been recognised as Dybics. Our cordial thanks are due to all those who have cooperated with usinthisportionalsoofourenterpriseforthegreatpainswhich they have taken in contributing to its progress.
