C. AND J. ADLARD, PRINTERS, BARTHOLOMEW CLOSE.
Transcriber's Note:
- Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note where the author's original intent was clear.
- Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant form was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
- Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
- Mid-paragraph illustrations have been moved between paragraphs and some illustrations have been moved closer to the text that references them. The List of Illustrations paginations and those in image captions were not corrected.
- Footnotes were moved to the ends of the chapters in which they belonged and numbered in one continuous sequence. The pagination of index entries which referred to these footnotes was not changed to match their new locations so they refer to the pages in the main text where the footnotes are referenced.
- The index entry for "Manufacture of Cards, extensive ... at Venice, 1441;...." lacked a page reference. That text was found to be on page 194 and was added to the index entry.
