TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

The long-form ſ character has been replaced by the modern s.

Footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes have been placed at the end of the book.

There is one large very wide table on [page 24] of the original book. This has been split into six parts, with the first column replicated for readability. The two footnotes specific to this table have been placed under the table, as in the original book, and are marked by † and ‡.

The [list of Plates] in the original book, and in this etext, is at the end of the book.

There are frequent abbreviated references to Kæmpfer’s Amœnitatum Exoticarum (Amœn. Exot. and similar).

Changes to the text are noted at the very [end of the book.]
