Transcriber’s Note: Words and phrases in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like this_. Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, or partially printed letters, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences were added. Footnotes were renumbered in sequence and moved to the end of the section in which the footnote anchor occurs. Italic “l.” was used to indicate British pounds throughout the book. Dialect, obsolete and alternative spellings were left unchanged, e.g. Qunnipiack, befal, pateroons, and Massachusets. In the Rate of Taxation table, the numbers are shown as printed, although the total of 65_l._ is not the correct sum.
