TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE:
Given the material, spelling errors were rarely corrected. Those in the table below seemed suspicious given other instances of the same word. Some punctuation errors have been silently corrected to avoid confusion or for consistency.
A number of words appear both hyphenated and unhyphenated. If a word was found hyphenated on an end-of-line, the most frequent version was followed.
Figures 235, 236, 237 were misnumbered as 335, 336, 337 respectively. These have been corrected.
William Carew Hazlitt’s work “Faiths and Folklore” is also cited as “Faith and Folklore”. The variant is retained.
A number of footnoted quotations were missing either opening or closing quote marks. Where possible, these have been confirmed in the referenced sources and placed properly; otherwise, they are simply noted.
The name ‘Akerman’ appears twice with an extraneous ‘n’, which has been removed.
