Transcriber’s notes

The following inserted ERRATUM slip on page [826] has been applied...
"The illustration of the Welte-Mignon should be the Steinway-Welte and vice versa"

On page [833] the original page was trimmed at the right causing a partial loss of prices, this is noted within the text.

The [index of departments] lists page [1442] as the start of the FUNERAL DEPARTMENT, but the original omits any such heading, so this heading has been added as a typographical error.

Typographical errors corrected within the catalogue are noted within the text, for example...
Scent Bottles
Also noted in this way are instances where product numbers are duplicated within the catalogue for different items, for example No. L I 28.

The following typographical errors are corrected without specific mention.
Missing full stops on abbreviated words
Missing quotation marks
Missing / (shilling/pence separator)

The original focal ratios i.e. ƒ/6·8 appeared in a variety formats, some using the florin symbol ƒ others with a capital F, some with the decimal point being superscript, or as period. All have all been normalized to ƒ and · mid-dot.

Gun bores are marked . or · inconsistently across different pages changed all to · mid-dot.

Accents have been left as in the original, but ligatures if used within a word are standardized without specific mention.
