Transcriber’s Note
On p. 215, the quoted material refers to the Belgian ‘bleuse’ (blouse). This may be a misprint, however the report being quoted is closely paraphrased in other texts using the same spelling.
On p. 398, a quoted passage introduced by “commissioners remark in their Report” opens with a quotation mark which has no corresponding close. It is not obvious where that passage closes.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original. References with three numbers refer to corrections to footnotes.
