...of his motive"--Quoted from the _Gentleman's Magazine_ of June, 1838.

There is no corresponding opening quote, and one is not added here.

Ellipses are used (pp. [258], [262–263], [290]), to elide a name. They have been rendered as long dashes here. There is also the phrase “when I—— took me by surprise” which may well be a mistake for ‘J——’, which was used just above. The ‘I’ has been retained as printed.

The following special situations are noted:

[p. 79]I did not set much value.[”]Added missing closing quote.
[p. 83]‘When shall we have Buonaparte?[”/’]Corrected closing quote.
[p. 115]was as favourable to the book as could be expected.[”]Closing quote has no mate.
[p. 133]Closing bracket of n1 is missing.Added.
[p. 134] [n87]Make my best respects when you write.[87]Added missing footnote number.
[p. 308]An extended dash has been shortened here to ‘——’.
[p. 322]tVol. I, p. 97.[—]TheAdded to match style just above.

Spelling, hyphenation and typographical errors

There are also very occasional typographical errors that have been corrected. Any variants in spelling or hyphenation have been retained. Where the sole instance of a hyphenation occurs at end-of-line, modern usage has been applied.
