Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed. Some illustrations of people had two captions: one in Latin, placed within the frame of the image, and one in English, printed below the image. When present and legible, both are shown in printed form in this eBook. The Latin spellings sometimes differ from the English ones. Text uses the names “Spanocchi” and “Spannocchi” several times; the latter is correct, but both spellings have been retained here. The spellings of proper names were not thoroughly checked. Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been moved to the end of the book, just before the Index.
