Transcriber's Note:
Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original document have been preserved. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.
In Table D on [page 283], a symbol for "per" has been replaced with the word per.
Footnote numbering, which in the original restarted at "1" with every chapter, has been prepended with OP (Original Preface), NP (New Preface), M (Memoir), or the Roman chapter number (e.g. VI-7 for the 7th note of chapter 6).
In [Footnote M-6], 1892 should probably be 1792.
On [page 216], the barometer reading for August 25th seems to be missing a digit.
