Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Many typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Text uses both “Guttenberg” and “Guttenburg”, “Helvelius” and “Hevelius”; both versions retained.
Page [18]: “documentary” was printed as “documentry”; changed here.
Page [33]: “transcendant” was printed that way.
Page [33]: The opening quotation mark preceding “A complete Course of Lithography” was added by Transcriber. Other punctuation and spelling within that title has not been changed, but some of it differs from what was printed in the English translation of the cited book.
Page [54]: The period after “Deity” in “offensive to the Deity. that the great majority” probably should be a semi-colon.
Pages [63] and [249]: A question mark is followed by a lower-case word.
