Transcriber's Notes:

Punctuation, use of hyphens, and accent marks were standardized. Obsolete and alternative spellings were left unchanged. Spelling corrections are provided as footnotes, below.

Several tables in the Climate of Whitehaven article were too wide to display on a standard computer screen. The tables have been divided, with the left-most column replicated, for ease of reading. Leading and trailing zeros were added to align numbers in columns.

The book originally contained two Tables of Contents, the second of which pertained to the ensuing volume. The second Table of Contents was removed from this edition.

Footnotes were numbered sequentially, indented and moved to the end of the article or table in which the anchor occurs.
