B. Footnotes have been moved to Chapter ends and have been
assigned letters instead of symbols. Each footnote originally
appeared on the same page as its reference point.
C. In the chapter entitled "Letter--To the Printer of the Public
Advertiser" the footnotes section has been re-titled "DOCTORS
NOTES" to coordinate with the next chapter entitled "Comments on
Doctors Notes". The note references have been placed in brackets,
[1], [2], etc., instead of the parentheses in the original text.
E. In the original book passages of "Common Sense" and the
"Letters of Junius" were presented side by side. In this e-text
these comparisons have been made by differently indented paragraph
blocks. Additional quotes and emdashes have been added as needed.
