TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE.
Archaic, obsolete, unusual and inconsistent spellings have been maintained as in the original book. Obvious errors have been fixed as detailed below. Changes are indicated below and in the text with a mouse-over like this. The cover was developed at pgdp.net and is in the public domain.
Some entries in the index were out of alphabetical order in the original book. They have been moved without noting them in the details below.
The totals in the various tables are not equal to the sum of the column above them. I assume this is due to round off error, or details in the original data which are not represented here. No attempt has been made to correct these totals.
In the original book, half of the publisher’s catalogue (Bohn’s Books) was in the beginnig of the book. It was moved to immediately precede the other half of the catalogue at the end of the book.
Preface, Contents, Introduction, Index, Bohn’s Books and Transcriber’s Note have been added to the table of contents. Only the chapters of the book were in the table of contents in the original book. The title "Bohn’s Books" was inserted into the beginning of the publisher’s book catalogue.
In the table below, the first line shows the text in this ebook, the second line shows the text in the original book.
