Footnotes have been relabeled 1–43 and moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs.
Illustrations have been moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. Therefore, the page numbers shown in the List of Woodcuts are sometimes wrong.
Original printed page numbers are shown in the right margin like this: {52}.
I produced the cover image and hereby assign it to the public domain.
On page [176] and elsewhere there are phrases such as ‹rarely exceed 1‐700th›, in which the fraction appears to have been printed with a hyphen. In other places, e.g. page [19], there are fractions such as ‹1/110th›, in which the ‹1› was printed over a vinculum, over ‹110›, in small text, and this fraction was followed by ‹th› in regular sized text. Herein, both forms have been converted to a form like this: ‹1‐30,000th›, using the Unicode character [u+2010 hyphen].
- Page [xi]. The LIST OF WOODCUTS was restructured slightly to form a simple list. Ditto marks and curly brackets were removed.
- Page [74]. The phrase ‹that it to say› was changed to ‹that is to say›.
- Page [102]. The phrase ‹fibre fig. 19, F.)› was changed to ‹fibre (fig. 19, F).›.
- Pages [228], [292]. The word ‹develope› was changed to ‹develop›.
- Page 282, Fig. [74]. Left parenthesis was inserted before ‹The figures A›.
- Pages [288], [368]. The name ‹M’Intosh› appears on page 288, but this name is spelled in the Index on page 368 with what would now be represented by the Unicode character [ʻ U+02bb; MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA] in place of the right single quotation mark. U+02bb is probably correct, but several current browsers don’t support this character. So both instances are spelled herein ‹McIntosh›.
- Page [298]. The word ‹kindess› was changed to ‹kindness›.
- Page [314]. The word ‹oocupied› was changed to ‹occupied›.
- Page [345]. The graphic chart, Successive Forms of the Astacomorphous Type, is poorly represented in our text edition, due to the inherent limitations of plain text. An image is used in the html edition.
- Page [363]. The original INDEX was structured loosely as a nested list. In the simple text edition, this structure has been reproduced as well as possible. In the html/epub/mobi editions, an html nested list structure has been imposed. Html list code is more rigidly semantic than the original printed index, so some corrections had to be applied, and ambiguities were necessarily clarified. A few mistakes are possible during such a process.
