^{page 309 note 4} The statement that the guarantee given with regard to the independence and neutrality of Belgium was joint and several is incorrect. The true wording is “sous la garantie de leurs dites Majestés” (vide above p. 306).

^{page 312 note 1} Query; for the wording of the protocol of December 20, 1831 is: “Les cinq puissances lui garantissent (à la Belgique) cette neutralité perpétuelle, ainsi que l'intégrité et l'inviolabilité de son territoire dans les limites mentionnées ci-dessus.” There is nothing here which suggests the “severally and individually.”

^{page 312 note 2} There is no hint of “separately” in art. I of the treaty of 1839, which merely says: “les articles ci-annexés…se trouvent…placés sous la garantie de leurs dites Majestés.”

^{page 313 note 1} Not so; these words are not in the treaty; it is a collective guarantee.
