Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks corrected.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.

Page [243]: “so reasonable, that one acre” was misprinted as “so reasonable, than one acre”.
Page [265]: “ascendency” was printed that way.
Page [365]: “consumate” was printed that way.
