Transcriber’s Notes

Unless listed below, the spelling, punctuation and formatting of the original have been retained, including inconsistencies, and including the spelling of geographical and proper names that may have changed since.

Maps are best viewed in the web browser version, available at www.gutenberg.org; the web browser version also contains links to larger maps.

References to “Pa. nnn” or “Page nnn” (in the text as well as in the maps) refer to map nnn rather than page nnn.

In the Indexes, I and J are considered the same first letter.
