Transcriber’s Notes

General remarks

Where possible, corrections have been verified with later editions and/or with other sources.

The spelling in this text follows that of the source document, including the spelling of proper names and place names, non-English words, and the use of accents and diacriticals. Inconsistent, erroneous and unusual spelling have been retained, except as mentioned below.

Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, not all elements may display as intended.

The source document consisted of an introduction, followed by two sets of weekly instalments, numbered I.-1 through I-27 (page numbers I-1 through I-860) and II.-28 through II.-55 (page numbers II-1 through II-888). Both sets have their own indexes.

The indexes are not always in full alphabetical order, and some page numbers in the indexes may be wrong. Neither have been corrected, except as indicated below.

Not all quote marks are paired properly with an opening or closing one; these were lacking in the source document, and it was not obvious where they should have been placed.

The numbering of repeating subjects (for example, Discoveries of the Ancients and Moderns) is not always contiguous.

Volume I and Volume II are available at Project Gutenberg as well (www.gutenberg.org).

Specific remarks

Page I-386/387, Errata: the corrections mentioned have already been made in the text.

Page I-562, Some merchants do the rather desire ...: as printed in the source document.

Page I-579/580: the first sub-total (331_li._ 0_s._ 8_d._) does not agree with the items listed; this error is continued in the other (sub-)totals.

Page I-621: Captain and Colonel O’Kelly: as printed in the source document.

Page I-642, Philippe Gualtier: probably an error for Philippe Gaultier (Philippus Gaulterus).

Page I-745, the Earth: ⊖ as printed in the source, rather than the more usual symbol ♁.

Page II-128, footnote [292]: 1892 as printed in the source document.

Page II-228, ... which will be inserted at a future time: not in this volume.

Page II-294 ff., references to drawings (the 2nd, the 3rd, etc.): these drawings were not present in the source document, except Drawing the 5th.

Page II-626, coins, &c. discovered ploughed up: the blank space in this text is deliberate, a word is missing in the source (possibly or or and).

Page II-653, with his own dear maid: the last two letters are invisible in the source document; other sources give maid.

Page II-799, erratum: the correction has already been made in the text.

Page II-682/683, claret ground, and burnishe The four beautiful ...: the blank space in this text is deliberate, one or more words are missing in the source.

Page II-852, footnote [519]: the volume number is partly illegible; there may have been one or more characters after xc.

Page II-871, (the Malden): possibly an error for Malton, one of the places served by the fly-boat.

Changes made
