Apart from minor normalisation of punctuation, the text is presented as printed in the original, including inconsistent hyphenation (cross-examined/cross examined, left-hand/left hand, right-hand/right hand), inconsistent and period spelling (Perrot/Perrott, Jekyl/Jekyll, anti-room, inadmissable, surprized) and inconsistent capitalisation in headings. The original uses the long s (ſ) only in the prefatory pages, thereafter reverting to modern usage.
