● Transcriber’s Notes: ○ Abbreviated index entries for page ranges (e.g. 12-4 or 127-9) were expanded to allow links to the appropriate pages to be generated for the HTML and ePUB versions. ○ Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected. ○ Typographical errors were silently corrected. ○ Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book. ○ Text that was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_). ○ The use of a carat (^) before one or more letters shows they were intended to be superscripts, as in S^t Bartholomew or L^{d.} Egemont.
