Transcriber’s Note

The printer employed the cursive forms of beta (ϐ) and theta (ϑ), sometimes in the same passage with the standard β and θ. These have been replaced with the standard forms.

Some place names appear with slight spelling variations. In the interest of text searches, these have been modified to the most frequently used version. Compound words sometimes appear with or without a hyphen, e.g., ‘corn-chandler’ / ‘cornchandler’. Where hyphenation occurs on a line break, the hyphen is retained only if there is a clear preference elsewhere.

Punctation errors and inconsistencies in the footnote and index apparatus have been corrected with no further mention here.

Index entries refer to topics in all three volumes of this text.

Footnotes are gathered at the end of each chapter, and references in the text are linked to them. The footnote references in the Index were also updated to their new values.
