Transcriber’s Note:
This book was written in a period when many words had not become standardized in their spelling. Words with inconsistent hyphenation were left unchanged. Jargon, obsolete words and alternative spellings were left unchanged. Misspelled words were corrected.
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the chapter. Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, unprinted or partially printed letters and punctuation, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate words at line endings or page breaks were removed. Missing header, [Varieties], was added to the December issue.
The following were added where blotches on the page obscured the text:
- ‘—-ng the coast’ to ‘[along] the coast’
- ‘ta—- care that’ to ‘[taking] care that’
- ‘to have ——’ to ‘to have [it?]
- ‘a—- twenty-five miles’ to [about] twenty-five miles’
- ‘The patt——- building’ to ‘The [pattern of] building’
