TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE:
Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some
exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like
this: {52}. Original small caps are now uppercase. Italics look _like
this_. Footnotes have been relabeled 1–68, and moved from within
paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. The transcriber
produced the cover image and hereby assigns it to the public domain.
Ditto marks have been removed, replaced by the referenced text.

Page 135. “Norfork” to “Norfolk”.
Page 170. “with South America,” to “with South America.”
Page 245. There is an unmatched double quotation mark in this sentence:
‘“Forasmuch as a man cannot put the price of corn and other victuals in
certain,” the justices of the peace shall every year make proclamation
“by their discretion,” according to the dearth of victuals, how
much every mason, carpenter, tiler, and other craftsmen, workmen,
and other labourers by the day shall take by the day, with meat and
drink or without meat and drink, and that every man shall obey such
proclamations from time to time, as a thing done by statute.”’. This
edition omits the one following ‘certain,’, but that’s just a guess.
Page 246. “Parlamentary” to “Parliamentary”.
