TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
This book was printed in 1754 and this etext is a careful reproduction of that original text. No spelling and very few punctuation corrections have been made in order to preserve the historical value of the original work.
All dates in the book are prior to 1750, and so are Julian calendar dates where a new year begins on March 25th. However the book was published in the Gregorian era, so whenever a year is given for a date between January 1st and March 24th, both the Julian and Gregorian year were printed. This is shown in the book with a hyphen, for example ‘the 10th day of March 1718-19’.
The long-s ſ has been replaced by s throughout the etext.
There is only one [footnote] in this book. The anchor is denoted by (a), and the footnote itself has been placed at the bottom of that paragraph.
All the changes noted in the [ERRATA] have been applied to the etext, except for the change noted for p71, which could not be identified. All occurrences of Testesole have been changed to Testefole.
A few minor corrections to obvious compositor errors are noted at the [end of the book]. Some missing quote marks have been silently added. All other misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been left unchanged.
