THE END.

J. B. NICHOLS AND SON, 25, PARLIAMENT-STREET.

Transcriber’s Note:

This book was written in a period when many words and names had not become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged. Dialect, obsolete and alternative spellings were left unchanged, as were misspelled words, incorrect use of homonyms, and sentences without verbs. The book used hyphens, dots, and spaces of various lengths to indicate unknown names, dates or words. For consistency, these were changed to long dashes: ——. Insular letters were replaced with contemporary equivalents. In Appendix XI, abbreviations are sometimes indicated with a macron or tilde above or through one or more letters. These are shown within brackets, e.g. [=m] and [~co].

Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, missing or partially printed letters, were corrected. Unprinted punctuation and final stops missing at the end of abbreviations and sentences were added. Duplicated words were removed, as were duplicate letters after rejoining words that were hyphenated at the end of a line. Excess spaces in abbreviations of titles, D.D. and M.D., were removed.

Footnotes were numbered sequentially and moved to the end of the section in which the anchors occur. Footnotes [139] and [335] are missing in the original; there are no anchors for footnotes [227], [230], and [337]. In Appendix XII, many footnotes have multiple anchors; each footnote is linked to the first anchor.
