Page 42 in Appendix – “A Draft payable” changed to “A Draft is payable” (N.B. A Draft is payable)
In the original manuscript, the months of May, June and July are missing from the table of “Abbreviations and Characters, in Common Use” on Page 41 in the Appendix. This may be deliberate as those months have short names. The omission has not been corrected in this transcription.
Index entries have been styled consistently and typographical errors fixed. Other minor corrections to the Index have been made without note.
Most footnotes have been re-indexed using numbers and moved to a FOOTNOTES section at the end of the transcription. The exceptions are the footnotes on page 1 and page 42 of the APPENDIX. These have not been re-indexed/moved and remain at the foot of their respective page. They also retain the original footnote anchor symbols.
