This book contains a considerable number of unusual and inconsistent spellings.
In some cases, research indicates that a spelling that appears incorrect in current times, was in use at the time that this book was printed, however a good number are probably typesetting errors or originate with the authors.
In the majority of cases, spelling has been left as printed but a small number of errors which obscure the meaning for the reader have been corrected. Both uncorrected and corrected spellings are noted below.
