Transcriber’s Notes

General remarks

This e-text follows the text of the original work. Inconsistencies and
unusual spelling have been retained; French and German accents and
diacriticals have not been added, except as mentioned below.

The source document was mostly, but not entirely, printed in two
columns, with each column having its own column number. For this
e-text these columns have been combined into a single page; the page
numbering used in this e-text (not available in all formats) therefore
consists of two column numbers per page, as in [151, 152].

Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, some
characters or other elements may not display as intended.

The original work has several gaps where numbers are missing or have
deliberately been left out; these are represented here as blanks.

Several entries in the indexes do not refer to the correct pages, and
some entries are inconsistent in their references; these have not been
corrected, unless mentioned below.

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

Specific remarks

Page 25/26, footnote [13]: Blount’s Plug. Antiq. by Beckwith probably
refers to Beckwith’s edition of Blount’s Fragmenta Antiquitatis.

Page 92, a wilder climate: probabbly an error for a milder climate.

Page 99, the entire of this canal: there is probably a word missing
(... entire length ... or similar).

Page 149, for some years last past: as printed in the source.

Page 156, “the late Dr. Sharp ...: closing quotes are missing from the
source.

Page 265, brand wel en vast houd: verbatim as in the source, even
though the Dutch does not seem correct.

Page 345, upon dying: possibly an error for upon drying.

Page 377, Mean Temperature: the tenths of degrees are missing from the
source.

Page 420, Joseph of Arimatlian: probably an error for Joseph of
Arimathea.

Page 513, To the reader: since the various numbers and parts are not
important for the single volume work and difficult to identify, they
have not been marked up, nor have hyperlinks been provided.

Page 579, “is this to Arcite’s leaping ...: there is no corresponding
closing quote in the source.

Page 582, ... that “Woodstock would have been ...: closing quotes are
lacking in the source.

Page 631-636, footnotes: the footnotes in the poem differ from those
in the remainder of the text; this has been retained.

Page 829/830, 841/842 and 1709/1710: the first illustration on page
829/830 is of sir Harry Dimsdale (as corrected on page 841/842), the
second of sir Jeffery Dunstan; this is in agreement with illustrations
from other sources. The list of illustrations (page 1709/1710) gives
