Money spent for good books is well invested; and in this day of typographical progress, no active-minded printer can really afford not to have the above works in his office library. Address all orders to _MACKELLAR, SMITHS & JORDAN FOUNDRY, Nos. 606-614 Sansom Street, Philadelphia._ Transcriber’s Note List of changes made to the text: Page 273, “pressman” changed to “pressmen” (Many pressmen take a dozen proofs) Page 358, “Felonius” changed to “Felonious” (Felonious intent.) Letter sounds in the alphabet tables were usually but not always italicised—italic font has been added where it seemed needed to standardise. Inconsistent use of hyphens and old-fashioned spelling are left unchanged. ന is used to represent a symbol described as “the Gothic M”. ⊏ and ⊐ are used to represent the primitive square-cornered forms of the Roman numeral Ⅽ and its reverse Ↄ. ₰ is used for the proofreader’s “dele” mark, which inexplicably still doesn’t have its own Unicode codepoint. [symb] is used for characters which have no sufficiently close Unicode equivalent, and these are included as illustrations in the HTML version.
