Transcriber’s Note
The Index covers both Volumes of this work. Volume I is also available from [Project Gutenberg]. Links to Volume II are not underlined. The external links to Volume I are underlined, and will open the HTML file at Project Gutenberg.
The last numbered page is p. 646. It is followed by a large table, and the index, which are not paginated. These have been assigned page numbers, continuing from ‘646’ for ease of reference here. The Index was printed in two columns, but is given here in a single column.
Several long accounting tables employ ‘Carry over’ and ‘Brought over’ lines to bridge page breaks. These are no longer required, and have been removed.
Spelling, generally, is not ‘corrected’, given the age of the text, unless there is a clear preponderance of an alternate more standard spelling. ‘Knowledge’ appears three times as ‘knowlege’, but more than twenty times as ‘knowledge’. Verbs ending with -er (‘enter’, ‘render’) are frequently spelled without the ‘e’ when used in other tenses, as ‘entred’, ‘rendring’, etc.
The word ‘Missisippi’ appears as the modern variant ‘Mississippi’ in the table of contents and index. The two instances (pp. [243], [261]) in the text proper have been retained.
Diacritical marks in non-English languages are frequently missing, and have not been added.
