However “New York” and “New-York” have been left unchanged as are other instances of inconsistent hyphenation and capitalisation or archaic/obsolete spelling. The latter includes colloquial usage in quoted conversations and correspondence.
The page headers of the book have been inserted in the transcribed text as sidenotes placed next to an appropriate paragraph. On pages of the book without any paragraph breaks it has been necessary to create a new paragraph at an appropriate location on the page and the page header placed there as above. This was required at 16 places in the transcribed text.
Footnotes have been re-indexed using numbers and collected together at the end of the book.
