Some of the columns of data in this book might not align properly in some e-readers. Please note that there are also text and html versions of this book available from Project Gutenberg.
Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of the paragraph (or, where relevant, quotation) to which they refer. A few missing footnote anchors have been added.
Maps were originally included as plates, they have been moved to be near the text they illustrate.
Some formatting and punctuation of abbreviations have been standardized, and formatting and punctuation in lists has been made consistent.
[Appendix B], Private acts enclosing common fields, was printed in two columns with, within counties, a “Carried forward” total at the end of each column, and a corresponding “Brought forward” total at the start of the next. These totals are shown here in parenthesis, e.g. {8,309}, to the right at their original position.
Variant spelling, inconsistent hyphenation, and inconsistent spelling of place names are retained, however a few palpable printing errors have been corrected.
Other changes that have been made are:
[Page 14], [footnote 2] “43 Geo. III. c. 81” has been changed to “13 Geo. III. c. 81”.
[Page 44], the reference to “the enclosure of Totternhoe” has been changed from page 65 to page 63.
The first anchor for footnote 46, on [page 98], originally pointed to a footnote which said “See note ¹ on next page.”
