The War Upon Religion / Being an Account of the Rise and Progress of Anti-Christianism in Europe
Transcriber's Notes:
In the original, chapter headings II-IX showed subtitles above chapter numbers, disagreeing with the display of numbers above subtitles on the Contents page and in chapter I. Those headings have been standardized.
Line spacing in the original varied inconsistently from single to 1.5, making the identification of intended block quotes difficult. For consistency, only speeches, quotes and reprints from document texts that were contained entirely within whole paragraphs—with no other narrative material—were treated as block quotes in this project (Exception: beginning P. 430 To My Countrymen.... ; this quote continues over several remaining pages and sections to the end of the book, and was not blocked).
Remaining transcriber's notes are at the end of the text.
