Transcriber’s Notes
The printer of the source document used (almost) identical characters
for number zero and lower-case letter o, which may have led to errors
in the transcriptions of some of the the coded messages. The same
applies to some instances of capital letter I and number 1.
Except as mentioned under Changes below, all advertisements have been
transcribed verbatim, including inconsistencies, obviously missing
punctuation, and obvious typesetting, spelling, factual or other
errors, as they may have been inserted deliberately or may in some
instances constitute (part of) a code. In addition, it is not clear
where errors originated: in the original newspaper advertisement or in
the transcription to or the printing of the book. The non-English
advertisements in particular are full of (possibly deliberate) errors.
Changes made:
Advertisement headings (number and date) have been standardised to be
entirely in italics.
No. 12: ... eyes,.it is ... changed to ... eyes, it is ...;
No. 127: Period inserted after first capital M;
No. 261: comma inserted after May 1;
No. 598: missing hyphen in mitge bracht assumed (changed to
mitgebracht);
No. 695: 1876 changed to 1856.
