Transcriber's Notes
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected, but
variations in spelling, punctuation, hyphenation and accents have been
retained.
In the discussion of language in the Introduction the non standard use
of ς within the words ἑςπέρα, τςιμπούχι, and βίςτατο has been
normalised.
In the Introduction the sentence: The Venetians seem to have regarded
the Cretans much in the same light as the English colonists of America
did the Indians, and, when their wretched state came to the knowledge
of the Senate, they sent commissioners to examine into it, from whose
reports I translate some extracts (quoted in Italian by Pashley), who
took them from the original documents in the public library of Venice.
