END OF VOL. 1.
Transcriber’s Notes
General remarks
- This e-text follows the text of the original printed work. Unusual spelling and inconsistencies have been retained; French and German accents and diacriticals have not been added, except as mentioned below.
- The printed book has two column numbers per page, but not all text was printed in columns. This e-text therefore uses the two column numbers per page as page numbers.
- Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, some characters or other elements may not display as intended. Elements of the text that were printed in Blackletter in the source document are displayed as Blackletter in this text.
- Several references are not present in the book; these have not been linked. Where single references point to multiple pages, these references have not been linked either.
- The hierarchy in headings in the original work is not always clear; for this e-text, months have been taken as chapters, dates as sections, and other headings as (sub-)sub-sections.
- The original work has several gaps where numbers are missing; these are represented here as blanks (as for example in Cyder, at per quart).
- In the Indexes, V precedes U.
- Statements about the scale of illustrations compared to the actual size of the object depicted may not be valid for this e-text.
- Volume II and Volume III are available at Project Gutenberg as well (www.gutenberg.org).
Specific remarks
- Page 41/42, ... long past away: copied verbatim from the Athenæum, not changed.
- Page 235, tailor’s bill: the errors in the calculations (family visit to theatre) have not been corrected.
- Page 415, Moveable feasts: the corrections provided have not been corrected in the preceding text.
- Page 515, left foot: should be right foot, or the illustration has been reversed.
- Page 532: shirt/shift: both are articles of clothing, but one of them is likely to be a typographical error.
- Page 652, “we may advise early rising ...: the quote may end either before or (more likely) after Milton’s poem; the closing quote is missing.
- Page 764, chose the part of genuine greatness.”: the opening quote is missing.
- Page 922, footnote: some sources give Groat Market, others give Great Market as Hall’s address.
- Page 931/932, poem by Hone: the quote closing ... for the “love ... is missing, and should probably be inserted after ... love ... or after ... Every-Day Book.
- Page 1055, ... whilst St. Ignatius was living.”: it is not clear where the starting quotes should go.
- Page 1091, ... because I could: the sentence is incomplete in the printed work.
- Page 1245, four successive years, from 1779 to 1780: as printed in source.
- Page 1415: ... ringing of bels ... ringing of bells ...: as printed in the original work.
- Page 1439: To the Aldermen of the Ward of: presumably the original precept would have had a space for the name of the ward (cf. the second precept); the printed book does not show such space.
- Page 1568, St. Nicholas in Russia: the article has no relation to Russia.
- Page 1622: the original work has a single footnote with two footnote anchors. It has been assumed that the footnote applies to both anchors.
- Page 1692, first of April, 1811: it is not clear to what this entry refers.
- Page 1707 ff, Floral index: some plants are listed out of alphabetical order, this has not been corrected.
Changes and corrections made
- Minor obvious punctuation (mainly missing end of sentence periods and periods after abbreviations), capitalisation and typographical errors have been corrected silently.
- Missing quote marks have been added silently where there was no doubt where they should go; otherwise they are mentioned above or below; excess quote marks have been deleted silently when there was clearly no need for them, otherwise they are mentioned above or below.
- Multiple footnote anchors for a single footnote: the footnotes have been copied as necessary.
- Footnotes have been moved to the end of the day to which they belong. Ibid. has been replaced with the actual title when footnotes have been moved apart, the actual title has been replaced with Ibid. when footnotes have been moved together.
