● Transcriber’s Notes:
○ The footnotes have been gathered together and inserted at the end
of the text.
○ On page 115 the word “comon” and on page 187, the word “comands”
appeared with a tilde (˜)over the letter “m”. This probably was a
contraction of “mm” and it was replaced by those letters.
○ Many inconsistencies in dating were left as they appeared on the
printed page.
○ 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.
○ The use of a carat (^) before a letter, or letters, shows it was
intended to be a superscript abbreviation, as in “w^{ch}.” (which)
or “M^{rs.}” (Mrs.).
○ Text that was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_).
