Transcriber's Notes:

Marginal notes are used for multiple purposes in this edition, and somewhat differently in each of Browne's works. Generally speaking, those notes which serve as paragraph descriptions, at or near the head of a paragraph, precede that paragraph. Those which serve to annotate specific points are inserted parenthetically as [SN: notes].

Pseudodoxia Epidemica: Footnotes and section headers were both printed in the margins. For this text version, numbered marginal footnotes have been moved to the end of their paragraphs. The headers have been moved to appear on a separate line at the beginning of each section. Redundant sidenotes merely indicating Part and Section numbers have been removed.

Hydriotaphia: Both lettered and numbered sidenotes are presented, at the end of each chapter as traditional footnotes.

Garden of Cyrus: Nearly all marginal notes are numbered, and are move to the end of each chapter. Any remaining notes are inserted as [SN: notes].

Certain Miscellany Tracts: There are both numbered and unnumbered marginal notes. Since several of the tracts are lengthy, numbered notes have been moved only to the end of the paragraph where they appear. Notes appearing at the head of a numbered section are retained on a separate line as [Sidenote: Topic]. Mid-paragraph notes are inserted parenthetically as [SN: notes].

Christian Morals: The marginal entries are either section numbers or footnotes. The latter have been moved to the end of each section.

Spelling varies considerably, and the text as printed is nearly always retained.

The table below summarizes any changes that were made, as well as any variants which have not been changed, but are particularly problematic.

The yogh-like character following a final q in many Latin words is a scribal abbreviation for 'ue', "quinq;"; and was frequently printed as a semicolon (;) In the script that appears as a caption to the "quincunce" preceding p. 147, the character appears as a yogh. For this text version, the semicolon is used here as well.

Trivial inconsistencies in punctuation, particularly in abbreviations appearing in footnotes or sidenotes, as well as the Index, have been silently resolved. Index entries reference all three volumes, using 'i', 'ii', 'iii'. Any volume references which are redundant have been removed.

In the text of FOUND IN NORWALK, punctuation and capitalization seems haphazard, and has been left as printed.

The following entries indicate where minor printer's errors were made. With few exceptions, Latin passages are allowed to stand as printed, except where noted below.
