Archaic and variable spelling is preserved as printed.
Some names include acute accents to indicate pronounciation. The positioning of these accents has been made consistent where there was a variation in a few instances. However, other occurrences of the same name may not include the accent. These have been preserved as printed.
Minor punctuation errors, e.g. omitted periods, have been corrected. Hyphenation and accent usage have been made consistent where there was a prevalence of one form over another.
Page [270] contains the following paragraph: "The superstitious observances which are still practised on November, or All Hallow Eve, in Ireland, Scotland, and some parts of England, are of pagan origin, and seem to be relics of this festival." There seems to be a specific day missing from the reference to November, presumably 'first,' although All Hallow Eve is generally regarded as being October 31st, with November 1st being All Hallow, or All Saints Day. As it is uncertain what precisely the author was referencing, the text is preserved as printed.
