Transcriber's notes:

• The preface and the main essay on "Essays and Reviews" are both numbered in Roman numerals starting at i. The former pages have been tagged with "Preface_Page_i" etc.
• Footnotes have been renumbered to run from 1 through the book. Where there is reference to a particular footnote in the text, the original text has been left, but [our 330] inserted to advise what the reference now is.
• The author's unusual punctuation style has been preserved, notably in the following respects.
  • Footnote markers appear before punctuation.
  • Punctuation appears before closing parentheses.
  • When a quotation is followed by a page reference, the page reference is normally followed by the same punctuation as the quotation ended with.
  • Roman numerals used for numbering are sometimes followed by a period, sometimes not.
• The use of hyphenation in the book is inconsistent. Where words were hyphenated at the end of a line, other examples in the text have been followed. Cases where there was some doubt were "pre-existing" (p. li), "co-extensive" (p. lxxvi), "frostwork" (p. cxxii), "overrule" (p. 20), and "twofold" (p. 38).
• i.e., and e.g., have been standardised to have no space.
• The following words are either archaic spellings or typographical errors and have been left as in the original. Those known to the transcriber as valid archaic spellings have been marked [*]
  • "Pourtrays/pourtrayed" (p. xxv)
  • "recal" for "recall" (p. xxviii and others)
  • "inuendo" (p. liv) [*]
  • "præ-Adamic" (p. cvii)
  • "Meanwile" (p. cxii)
  • "expence" (p. cxxxiii) [*]
  • "Poictiers" for "Poitiers" (p. cxlvi) [*]
  • "tenour" (p. ccvi)
  • "Analagy" (p. ccxv)
