The preface and the main essay on "Essays and Reviews" are both numbered
in Roman numerals starting at i. The former pages have been tagged with
"Preface_Page_i" etc.
Footnotes have been renumbered to run from 1 through the book. Where
there is reference to a particular footnote in the text, the original
text has been left, but [our 330] inserted to advise what the reference
now is.
The author's unusual punctuation style has been preserved, notably in
the following respects.
Footnote markers appear before punctuation.
Punctuation appears before closing parentheses.
When a quotation is followed by a page reference, the page reference
is normally followed by the same punctuation as the quotation ended
with.
Roman numerals used for numbering are sometimes followed by a period,
sometimes not.
The use of hyphenation in the book is inconsistent. Where words were
hyphenated at the end of a line, other examples in the text have been
followed. Cases where there was some doubt were "pre-existing" (p. li),
"co-extensive" (p. lxxvi), "frostwork" (p. cxxii), "overrule" (p. 20),
and "twofold" (p. 38).
i.e., and e.g., have been standardised to have no space.
The following words are either archaic spellings or typographical
errors and have been left as in the original. Those known to the
transcriber as valid archaic spellings have been marked [*]
