Footnote [65] is referenced (anchored) from inside Footnote [64].
Footnotes [107], [108], and [109] are referenced from inside

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within
the text and consultation of external sources.
Five occurrences of ‘D’Etrées’ have been left unchanged, though
‘D’Estrées’ is probably the intended name.
Four occurrences of ‘Hilsborough’ have been left unchanged, though
‘Hillsborough’ is probably the intended name.
