Transcriber’s Notes
Inconsistencies and (factual or linguistic) errors in the text have
been retained, except as mentioned under Changes below. Carrere and
Carrére have not been changed to Carrère (the more common spelling).
Missing or wrong accents in French words have not been corrected.
Several proper and geographic names are spelled either in their
original or in anglicised spelling (or both) or in variations
thereof; these have not been standardised. The differences (in
wording and structure) between the Table of Contents, List of
Illustrations and the chapter and section titles and illustration
captions in the text have not been corrected either.
Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text and their
settings, not all elements may display as intended.
The quality of several of the maps and charts was insufficient to
display them fully legible and with all details visible, or to
transcribe the text in the chart or map.
Page 14, note in lower left corner of map: the note in the source
document ends (unexpectedly) in ... several other early improvements,
Page 27, 31: The (minor) differences between the texts in the charts
and those in the transcriptions as printed in the source document
have not been rectified.
Page 146, quote from L’Enfant, and Page 27 (transcription from
chart): the minor differences between the quoted text and the map
have not been rectified.
Page 201, By a resolution adopted February 29, 1847 ...: 1847 was not
a leap year.
Changes made
Illustrations have been moved outside text paragraphs.
Some obvious minor typographical, spelling and punctuation errors
have been corrected silently.
Where relevant and possible notes, explanatory texts, legends,
etc. from illustrations have been transcribed separately; these
transcriptions may be found towards the end of the text. In these
transcriptions, most of the (sometimes elaborate) formatting has been
ignored.

by Mr. Blodgett....
