The printer’s catchwords at the bottom of every page on the 1677 Catalogue were carried forward in the 1863 text. These have all been removed in the etext.
The capital letter of a name was italicized in over two hundred instances and was perhaps a printer’s artifact and not the 1677 compiler’s choice. These have been left unchanged in the etext.
A few instances of a clearly incorrect punctuation mark have been silently changed, for example ‘Mr,’ was changed to ‘Mr.’ Many instances of a missing comma, for example after the surname, have not been altered.
All addresses were italicized and all names were not. A half dozen instances of italic inconsistency were silently changed.
The [‘Goldsmiths’] section had two small lists under the letter [‘H’ heading]. These have been combined into one list.
In the Introduction:
[Page xviii], ‘ia a good suggestion’ replaced by ‘is a good suggestion’.
In the Catalogue entry with surname ‘xxxxx;’:
