Transcriber Note
Although some hyphenation standardization has been employed, other unique spelling and grammatic constructs have been left as in the original printed version. On [page 188], the odd fraction of 87 divided by 1 was left as printed In addition to obvious typographical corrections, the following were made:
| Page(s) | Change |
| [134] | “proxility” changed to “prolixity” |
| [135]-[143] | Best judgement used in the table where numbers not clearly decipherable in the best images available. |
| [142] | BISMUTH, with Antimony starts with 10004 all others start with 10000. The “4” was assumed to be a typo and was changed to “10000”. |
| [143] | Shows 10,0000. the last “0” assumed typo and removed. |
| [167] | Twice shows a fraction of “16/11 of gold”. Although this may be a typo for “10/11 of gold” it was left unchanged. |
| [248] | “aoules” changed to “aoutes”. |
